AK 3bet - Flop: Fold, Call or Jam?

How would you continue on the Flop? Fold, Call or Jam? As fas as I can tell Villains playstyle is loose.

How suited is your AK?
If it is A♥:K♥: then I would jam — you're in 4th place and opponent is attempting to use ICM against you, but opponent is sitting second in chips and is unlikely to want to fall to third — or lower.

Other than A♥:K♥: you pretty much have a "no pair, no draw" hand and in that case, fold makes sense.

I really want to hear what the experts think though, since I get into these spots often

Oh sorry forgot to mention that. It was Ac Ks.

I would most likely 3bet 3x in position against the big stack and consider to call a shove.
As played the board is pretty wet and you missed the flop completely.
Without reads I would fold against the lead of villain. It's tough to call with only 2 over cards and shoving would be ICM suicide with 2 shorter stacks in game. Off course we don't know the paid outs, but in most cases you need to be carefull as mid stack.

Thank you for your thoughts guys. Very much appreciated!

I've been thinking about this and believe his range was like Ax suited and offsuited, all kinds of suited connectors and pocket pairs. Unfortunately I don't remember his PFR exactly, but I'd say it was arround 19%, I believe his VPIP was arround 35%.
So I asked myself what hands would he call a jam with? I'd say with sets, the straight, an overpair, top pair and straight draws (like 9t).
He might fold bottom pair, because he played something like 57s, 33, 44.
He wouldn't call with Ax and qj that is not h.
So thinking about this I believe it was still a fold. Anyway, I was a bit on tilt and pushed. He called and showed 7c 5c and won the pot.

Shove pre :f_biggrin:. Seriously..Heavy ICM..The players are weak...They can call with a lot of weaker hands (Ax, even some KQ, KJ..), you will miss the flop often, just shove pre and forget
As played fold OTF
