NL5/10 I see a flop with AK

[vixticator]

MP is tag/station if that makes sense 24/8/3 huge showdown numbers. Button is same but never raises PF 25/0/infinity huge showdown %.

Any reason to 3-bet AK OOP against players this bad?

My question is why do I 3-bet PF when c-bet on a whiff OOP isn't likely to work? Sure, I can win the pot now or one of them might shove and I would call. Their PF raise numbers are low enough that MP always has a pocket pair, AK/AQ. Obviously button can have anything, so isolating is worth considering. I don't really like c-betting and calling shove when I miss and with these stacks I don't have much choice. I will 3-bet on CO/BUTTON, or facing a raise with position.

Basically, I want the argument for 3-bet &gt; calling in this situation--not specifically, but here.
