We call the 3bet pre because his sizing means we weight his range more towards AK than KK+... I'm fine with this line of thought. If we have him on AK exactly, then we can play the hand perfectly. What is the perfect play on this flop against AK? It depends if he cbets ace high more often than he hits an A or K on turn, which isn't often. 10%? He's cbetting AK more often than 10%. When he checks in position, I'm making a note for future reference. But right now, at the point of decision, there's little reason for us to think he checks back AK. So I see no justification in betting, especially given that he doesn't have AK exactly, he also has QQ+.
After calling pre, I'm c/c flop, and I'm happy to call at least one bet post flop, possibly two, but definitely not three, where there's no A or K. When those cards fall, we give up.
Luco played the hand fine post flop imo, the only question is whether to call or fold pre.
