NL50 - Simple line check with AK that gets 3 bet upon

[CazicT]

Is this really a steal situation even with the limper already in the pot?

I think I really like the push idea if their was more dead money in the pot, but it's probably OK even without it, especially since I read him for having a wider than average 3 betting range, though my read isn't that concrete.

I was pretty much thinking that since I was in position I should call though, but then when I missed the flop and he bet it kinda just seems like I gave him my money by folding, but at the same time, I don't really have much of a hand to fight with.
