Call down next time, raising flop here is horrible against this villain. As played... fold [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Why call down in a hand 3 bet preflop? Wont this end up all in before showdown anyways?

Because if you raise flop and he pushes you won't now what to do and you will have to waste time posting the hand in 2p2 where no one else will know what to do either. But if you are beat and villian is a nit then he might check river with AA after seeing you call 2 streets and you will save a little money. He also might get stubbon and keep firing QQ/JJ/AQ whereas he would just fold these to a flop raise. You will also save on rake if he has the other AK when river gets checked down.
