Flop bet is necessary because it him the info that the two behind him have no pair (almsot all the time). So, only thing to worry about is the SB. Flop 3 bet can perhaps clean up a couple ace outs.

Turn and river bets are required IMO. Of course a fold to a turn rasie.

Seems reasonable based on hand ranges here since seems unlikely for SB to have a 4.

I agree that betting the flop is necessary, and the 3bet is usually a good idea, provided you fire out on a non-club turn. The problem is that if you get raised, you've gotta pay off since you made the pot so damned huge. You're getting the price to hit an A or Q, even though these outs are tainted. FWIW, I would probably jam it in many spots like schneids did, but there are places where AQ is just gonna be in trouble. This is a much better play with AK.
