It's true blockers mean less against fish since they are more linear but:
1) We block AK
2) AK probably 3bet's at some frequency preflop
That makes AK less likely than a random flush to me - which we want to block.
Also it's not obvious to me that AK uses this sizing. This seems more like a flush or bluff and less of a merged range.
