Hopefully everyone is happy that feelings about stuff have gotten out. Sounds like discussion has moved on to the flop.
I'll throw in a worthless $0.02.
AKo with none of the flush draw on a J
8
5
is supposed to be a meh spot. Whatever our range is, we 3 bet OOP and both the original raiser and the cold caller should like board better than we do. I'd expect a couple of schools of thought on how to play from here, based on assumptions about how the "competent" player and the "fishy" one play post flop. Assuming a pretty tight 3 betting range preflop (the bad guys will, even if we're looser), we don't have a lot of J's and our 8's mostly walk in pairs. 2 of our 6 outs to draw to the best hand are dubious and even if we hit turned black A, we're fading a bunch of cards on the river.
I didn't read the thread above carefully, but I would love to see people back up their flop arguments with stoves. Don't really care about exact % of equity as much as the assumptions that go into villain ranges. If the fish is playing a lot of middle suited connector, 1-gap, 2-gap hands, did he just smash the flop?
Without any deep thought, I totally get the check and call 1 bet folks. If there were two cold callers, I think it would be certain. Not as sure here in a 3 way pot.
