I'd play 97s before K7s. MP opens are expected to be heavily laden with broadway cards and PP's. Having a K with a weak kicker is going to put you in terrible decision spots. Playing SC's for 2-pair+ hands is much safer when OOP against a predictable opponent.

I think the only 3X hands in SB range would be { 33, A3s }. There's plenty of SC's and AXs in a SB flatting range, though.

I'd perceive your range as mostly flushes, sets and Aces up, with an occasional wheel, and a healthy dose of random spew. (Everyone at 10NL has random spew, more than they perceive in themselves).

If I was Villain and I called, I'd smile that you had AKo in this spot. I'd smile cause I think you played PRE in such a way that you're going to end up misplaying the hand post almost every time.

Here, you represent strength, but you're holding the bottom of your range... weaker than you've represented... meaning you turned AKo into a bluff when you had decent showdown value.
I 3bet hands like K7s etc, not call. The reason is people play supertight vs. A 3bet even in position. I use to 3bet AKo vs every position (except UTG)until i realized that people are folding too much to 3bets. Bovada has a weird but cool thing where two days after a hand is played you can see ALL opponents cards that were dealt. Whether they played or not. So i went back and looked and people are opening alot of broadways and folding to 3bets. So why eould i 3bet AKo? its a pretty good favorite vs that range. So i choose to to 3bet hands that have equity vs. That range but not enough equity to call. Hence i 3bet my premiums, and weaker Axs,Kxs that cant profitably call as bluffs. You see what im saying?
I built my ranges after reading spoons articles and thought i had a decent idea of what was going on. When i get to my computer ill post my ranges that ive constructed, see what you think.
