Default AKo in a big pot

MP3 is a TAG (13.07/7.52/3.67). Button is a LAP (50/16/1.21). Did I ditch this at the right or wrong time? Anybody play this differently?

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls, Button calls.

Flop: (15.00 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

River: (11.00 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Button folds.

Looks ok to me. I would probably take a shot at a c/r on the flop, with that aggression number his bet doesn't really mean all that much (and maybe his PF 3-bet was designed to isolate MP1, idk.) If he calls I may lead out the turn and see what happens, if he raises I'd call then c/f the turn UI.

I hate to say this, but I may just fold pre-flop. How many hands do you have on TAG? We might call (not cap) and see if the flop hits us and MP1 does add some dead money into the mix. As we've bloated the pot, I would probably peel the flop as we're getting fantastic odds. Unfortunately, the only thing we'd have a chance at drawing out on is QQ-JJ (TT?). Also button cold-called 2, and he isn't going away on this flop, so we've either crippled the deck with 3 big card hands, and MP3 is taking the initiative, or more likely is that MP3 has the overpair and we're crushed. So you played it OK, I think.

I don't think that it is a good idea to cap with AKo from OOP. I would just call preflop. You have to remember that AK is still a drawing hand. A very good drawing hand, but nevertheless, a drawing hand.

Like buzz said, it would be good to know how many hands that you have on these stats.

I would probably try a raise on the flop. The only problem with that is then the pot gets to be the size that you can't fold the turn. Flop call and turn c/f is fine.

hmmmmmm

i think catagorizing into drawing and made hands preflop is wrong (SSH says so too)
nevertheless i think I wouldnt cap AKo from the small blind because of bad position.
