Again, I agree AQ should be 3bet here. But the fact that others at the table would flat here tells us nothing about whether it's good or bad to do so.
Complete oversimplification of the situation. It’s all about how people make these “standard” plays, and then we incorporate them into our game and bleed the same money. Poker is reciprocity; how much of an edge you have is nothing more than the difference between your result and their result if the roles between you two are changed. The entire point of the argument is that if you play the same way, there’s no reciprocity in your favor. Even the worst players will make money with AA
