(we have no such benefit with AK.) additionally there's another player who will likely get involved behind us to boost the value of that.
i know this sounds super nitty but if the villain, 3bet size, or stacks were different everything would change.
it's also highly exploitable, but i'm not going to do this consistently once reads develop with this player.
ultimately it comes down to how likely you think JJ and AK are in his 3bet range here. my experience at 1/2 shows a strong correlation between 3bet sizing and holdings for average players, i would very heavily discount those holdings in his range. and then we block Qs. do the math.
