If he's a LAG, then he's opening WAY wider than that, and should be defending pretty wide COvBU, too. I'm considering a 3b here with any ace, any decent king, any semi-connected suited hand, any suited cards with paint, etc, so you should be able to 3b AQ+ for very fat value. All of this is obviously very dependent on who the limpers and blinds are as the play of a table will somewhat revolve around the table's biggest marks, but the point is that you should be 3b'ing wide enough here that AK is an easy 3b for value hand.
Make it ~$42.
As played, I probably make it ~$25 on the flop with my entire betting range.
As played, this is a weird way for a weak K to play it since he surely thinks he gets more value from us bluffing than he does from us having ... TT?! Lol. I'm not sure why he would x/c two streets on the greatest cbetting board ever with too much pure air, so it's tough to put him on bluffs, even spades.
He could maybe have a value hand and thinks he gets more value from our bluffs if he bets and we shove then if he crai's (or he doesn't think his hand is quite good enough to crai, but it's good enough to call a shove), but this doesn't seem like much of an inducing bet.
I'm not sure. I'm probably most concerned about 88 and K8, since split pairs/TPNK are exactly the type of hands that would x/c flop. He could also x/c 77/44 here some, either because he's on level 1 and thinks that slow-playing nutted hands on dry boards is what cool people do or because he's on level 3 and thinks he should protect his checking range and can scoop some bets from air when he checks. But we beat most every combo of everything, and we very rarely have a hand as good as trips-top-kicker when we flat/bet/bet, so I'm definitely calling at the very least. Probably just confused flatting, though -.-
