I thought you were supposed to be careful with AK, because its dominated by AA,KK and about 45/55 underdog to QQ-22. And generally if someones raising/reraising pre flop they are gonna have these hands (AA-TT) or you'll be splitting with AK.
well it should be a "default" because people will fold a lot to your 3b so you make money
and if they call your 3b with hands like AQ, AJ, KQ then you make money by making top pair and stacking them

and then there's the A4s 4b tilt shove...

anyway, if you don't feel right about felting this on the flop, don't raise the flop, just call
