Default Re: a genie offers you a deal

well because you know that if you reraise their AK preflop they call and they miss you probably get them to fold. Don't make the mistake of assuming AK is really good or something, it almost never wins unimproved without going to the felt preflop. Usually when you don't improve by the first 3 cards, it's correct to fold.

I would most definitely 3 bet against AK if I saw the other 7 players held trash. You extract far more value that way.

I think the interesting question here is not whether you would accept this, but rather how to maximize profit from it.

EDIT: lets not forget most players think they can get implied odds off of you. You may even want to make a "mistake" of letting them win a bet or two if they have a legit hand, so it doesn't seem like you're a freaking god.
