Okay I probably should not even be 3-betting AK against this type of player but...

In general, I have serious issues with AK post-flop.

I always fire 2/3PSB as cbet in 3bet pot no matter what. It makes my hand much harder to read. Then I re-evaluate. If he calls flop here I check it down. Like you said it is probably better not 3bet a 4% PFRer OOP with AK.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

If I 3bet preflop, I bet at least 2/3 the pot on any flop (unless it's a KK with an A on the flop type situation).

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
 If you check the flop then I wouldn't bet the turn

If you bet the flop then I'd bet the turn.

edit : I'm pretty sure you have the same hand here as villain.

Either that or JJ.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
