NL 25: AK in 3-bet Pot

[random50]

"Big draw probably is CR AI here"

Hmmm. A big draw is prepared to draw, but *really* just wants to take the pot down. Doesn't a strong lead out bet, which is effectively an AI, give his two opponents much less enticing pot odds to call than CR AI?

Plus...AF 5!

If he *has* hit big, is he really going to bet pot and risk scaring both of you off? Thanks to your huge PF raise he has no need to be sizing that large to get AI by the river and he can also strongly expect one of you to bet hard if he checks or puts in a small bet.
