My thought here is to float AK combos with a diamond, and then bluff diamond run outs when the turn checks through. I think I need to choose to either bluff AK with either the Ad or Kd to control my frequencies however, because otherwise I will likely show up with too many bluffs, and I think my AK has some showdown value. I think the Kd is the better candidate because more AK/AQ with the Ad in the 3bettors shoes will tend to be flop bet, meaning a river shove should generate more fold equity. On the other hand, holding the Ad would likely mean more hands that tilt towards bluff catchers given we block the best back door flush draw, so a hand like QJ that 3b pre might cbet flop and check turn and hero call riv. Also, AKdd probably gets C/R at some frequency, along with JJ.

In a passive live environment, I'd probably fold AKo pre from these positions, but imagine people are still 3betting aggressively enough to make the preflop/flop decisions profitable?
