Don't be one of those players that over values AK. This situation is extremely str8forward. You open raise from a UTG position and get 3bet huge by one of the blinds. Even if villain is completely unknown you'd still have to give that play some respect. Unless you KNOW villain is very LAGish, AK is an easy lay down.

I have difficulty when I have QQ / JJ in that spot. I've bled off a lot of chips cos at best it is a race. I lost on the low flops to the overpair, and then there are the times when overcards flop. It seems to be just a guessing game. That is part of the reason QQ is a losing hand for me.
