Default I 3bet a monster draw on the flop, but is it +EV???

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $100.73
BB: $118.00
UTG: $110.70
CO: $56.60
<font color="black">Hero (BTN): $133.95</font>

<font color="black">Reads: </font><font color="blue">Villain is unknown here. I really do not think he is doing this with a pair of aces. I used to like this play in this spot because I\'m ahead of AK\'s range, but I am really starting to think that he has a set here way more often than he is simply c/r bluffing which is really what he has to be doing in order for this to be sexy. Thoughts?</font>

CO posts $1.50
<font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt (5 Players)
UTG folds, CO checks, <font color="red">Hero raises to $5.50</font>, SB calls $5.00, 2 folds

<font color="black">Flop:</font> ($13) (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $9.50</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $30.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises all-in to $128.45</font>

Depends on reads/villain. Vs. some people this is the best way to play it, vs. others this is very bad (cuz they always have a set). Vs. an unknown I would guess this is slightly +EV over all.

The A is actually a good card because it makes sets less likely and adds the Ax hands that an unknown can do this with.

Because in my books an unknown doesnt c/r with an ace. He flat called preflop so AK/AQ is out of his range(at least its a v small portion of his range). And unknowns in my experience dont get tricky with aces like this
