Unsure what to do with AKs
Villain is on the button and has Hero covered, effective stack is $172.
Hero has AKs in SB
Folds to HJ who opens for 16 gets called by CO and BU Hero makes it 86, folds to BU who is talking a lot and has been hella spewy and thinks for awhile calls.
Flop(206):763r
Hero?
I feel like I my 3 bet might have been way too big? maybe should have sized smaller $64-75? but regardless of that sizing do I just stick the rest in or c/f this flop? I'm getting like ~3.5:1 if I check it to him and he puts me all in.
Edit: This was live 2-100 spread limit

Preflop you played your hand perfectly. Your goal is to commit yourself but still get the call from the fish.
On the flop, the money goes in anyway (you only have a half pot bet left). The only reason, when you should not shove yourself is, when the fish folds all overcards to a shove but you expect him to bluff with them frequently when you check to him. Then go for a check call.
What are your thoughts on the sizing of the 3b?
Perfect against a caller fish.
With Aa, kk, qq i would probably make it a bit less, such that he continues with most of his hands.
With ak it is ok to get a lot of folds, you do not have a large equity advantage against the fish. Additionally there is rake you have to consider in big pots (if your casino doesnt have a capped rake).
My casino is 10% capped at $5 but either way are there any flops in which I fold with how little I have left behind after the initial 3bet? Also is this hand played way different if I had AKo rather than AKs
