But his UTG+1 range is so tight that you aren't going to get much to fold. If his average stats are 15/13 and he steals 30% from late position, then his UTG+1 PFR% is probably closer to 6%, which gives him an initial PFR range of something like: { 88+,AJs+,KQs,AQo+ }. 3betting will just reduce that range even further after he calls.

I think the problem here is that you won't really win any big pots with AK, but you can easily lose some big pots if you aren't careful. So even if you flop TPTK, you need to accept that you can't get 3 streets of value from worse hands.

I think this hand was played well, though, assuming you checked the river.
