NL25- AKo misses in 3 bet pot

[nate_b_17]

villian running 56/15/1.5 over 100 hands. I get in trouble with these stack sizes often and am lost after the flop when i miss. feel compelled to call after his flop raise cause of his stack size. checking behind feels so weak, but i know im leaking money in these situations
