I min-raised because I thought that worse hands would call the min-raise (or fold), while better hands would re-raise/shove. I also really wasn't sure if TPTK was good, and I didn't want to 3-bet larger only to fold to a 4-bet or to face another barrel OTT.

I should have clarified in the OP that the 3-bet to weak play read is a pre-flop action (one that's easily countered.) Granted, that doesn't necessarily mean the Villain won't do it post-flop. But, it does tell me that the Villain is positionally aware, hence my caution with my AK in this spot.

Villain just started showing up a few days ago, at least on my tables, but I do think s/he is a reg. Villain plays multiple tables, sits with the max at all of them, and waits for the BB when sitting down. Besides the 3-betting to weakness read, I haven't seen Villain do anything out of line or fishy.

I say this because you can easily counter this move by either re-raising or taking betting control OTF. I've seen Villain fold to re-raises or fold OTF after making the raise/3-bet.
