He is suggesting you pick an open size and go with it. There’s no logical purpose to randomizing your open.

I suggest you just open to 15, rather than random amounts from 12-18. Opening to oddball amounts just makes it harder for the dealer when they have to make change. Nobody wants to wait on change when you open to 16 and 4 players call with red chips.

Maybe so, but the whole table uses oddball amounts. It's usually 10 or 15 + whatever amount of white chips they have which amounts to 1-4. Even my friend uses some strange raising amounts like 11.

Your friend must call $170 to win a $488 pot; he needs 35% equity to break even on his call.

AKs vs a range of JJ+/AK has 43% equity (call EV=$40).
AKs vs a tighter range of QQ+/AKs has 38% equity (call EV=$15).

If you randomize all your sizings from 12-18 then its a pretty easy 3bet/call by your friend. I think at 200bb+ he can consider folding

Yea, been through the hand and the responses. Given the stacks, I'd play it like a tournament hand and stack off with the AK.
