I generally just call a raise PF with AKo, but there's 6 folds after UTG's raise so going ahead and 3 betting seems best.

You have it backwards, the more cold-callers, the more likely you should 3-bet pre-flop.

Why? I'm interested to know this because I always assumed I'd want my top pair of have a better chance when I hit.

Not sure what your statement has to do with 3-betting pre-flop. Someone raises, there's 3-4 callers, you have way too much equity here not to 3-bet.

I think we can find a 3 bet on the river, though, if we are feeling up to it.

Ok you play AKo hoping to hit TPTK and hope it stands up... then you get THE PERFECT flop for AKo no str8 or flush draws and you just call a flop bet..... raise raise raise till you can't raise anymore. When the 3rd A hits the river the one hand you are worried about (AA) is no longer possible so raise it up!

Yeah, it is a good flop for AK. The rest of the post is bullshit though. Don't just post meaningless dravel, think a few seconds before you post. I think this is perfect played in every way assuming his opponent is a thinking player. At 1/2 crypto and party I would do the same

Ditto that.

A CR on the turn allows any player with 1/4th-1/2 of a brain to get away from his hand. U should re-raise that river.

I think a flop CR, then call his 3-bet, call the turn bet, then bet/3-bet the river works well to. (depends on opponent, as if hes thinking he might slowdown on the river).
