Called 3-bet w/ AK and missed flop as usual

[Laetus]

Villain is playing 22/17/4 TAG game and I'm playing TAG. We have been 3-betting each other fairly frequently previous sessions, but not this one yet. Besides we have been 3-betting each other mostly in good steal situations i.e. button vs blind and similar.

What should we do on a flop like this? We can't fold our AK all the time we miss... it just stinks to me. If we shouldn't do some kind of play on this flop texture, which one should we make a play on?

You sometimes have to make a move postflop but normally i woul d fold on this flop.

I usually 4 bet preflop, especially if you guys are in a raising war which I seem to be in with every other reg in the games I play in. Sometimes I'll call and shove over a flop c-bet, that is my favorite line to take with a solid TAG that I don't have much history with.

If I call (not terrible) then I'm shoving some flops that I miss, folding others. Alternate between shoving the flop when I hit and just calling, etc.

This is one of the flops I'd often raise though. I usually just shove but given his smallish reraise and flop bet I'd just raise big and committ myself to call a shove (ie raise half my stack).
