NL $25 Tricky Spot with AK preflop

[bsheck]

Here's an interesting hand I played the other night that I would like some opinions on. Villian here is pretty solid preflop, but pretty weak-tight postflop, running around 18/13/0.5. He had been raising to $0.75 or $1, but open raised to $1.50 one other time OTB prior to this hand (the blinds folded).

BB: $26.70

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $1.5</font>, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3</font>....

So here I'm in a precarious spot. I have AK out of position against someone who has made a large raise. I really don't like putting in a big reraise here, and I don't like calling, so I decided to double his raise and make it $3 total. I want to find out right now if I'm up against AA or KK (which I believe are the only two hands which he'd put in the 3rd raise). He's probably going to call with just about all of his other hands, but that's fine as I think I can outplay him after the flop anyway. This by the way is a concept right out of NLHTAP (in the paying for information section) and I believe this is a good spot to apply it. Thoughts?

i make it $5 pf.... you're guaranteeing that he'll call your raise to $3.... you want him to lay down hands like 99 or TT

But I also would like him to call with hands like AQ and AJ.

yeah, but you want him to call INCORRECTLY with those hands.... so you want hime to make a big mistake, not the smallest mistake you can dish out

whenever i screw with people who make big open raises from LP i run into the nuts, but if you do choose to 3bet, make it bigger.
