Re: Cleaning up outs, or destroying implied odds?
Neither. It's a value raise. You are favorite against a 9 or any pocket pair except AA-QQ which SB will almost never have here. Getting MP to fold a possible AK is nice, but his pre-flop raising range is likely to be very wide and AK is just one possibility. More likely have you have dominated, which is why you need to be 3-betting this pre-flop most of the time.
