I'm never folding to a 3b with position 300bb deep with AKo. Opening the action again with a 4b would be spew, I'd reserve that for a polarized range of monsters and Axs if I'm going to do it, which I am not vs this described villain.

As played, I check back for deception. Odds are very very low that he has a FD so Im not worried about that hitting. If you check back he may bet KK/QQ on the river thinking hes ahead of a smaller PP or that you are the one who had a FD.
With enough creativity and aggression postflop 300bb deep we can steal the pot enough of the time (think JT9 type flops we can play back on), in addition to our equity, we should be calling. We aren't getting aipf or anything right now so pf equity is not as big a factor as I think you're saying.
On the turn, I think checking is the standard play, mostly for deception but there's little of it to be had at this point given the action.
AP I would probably check but what do we think of some tiny bet like $200 or so?
