Re: AK and big pots
3 bets before the flop is fine... but like you said the mentality of some players is to come into the BIG pot with any hand at this point. If you miss the flop and one of the pre-flop raiser bets out, you're probably up against an pair or a set.
Your best option might be to check-raise from early position on the flop to gain information. Then lead out on the turn.
This is a much better use of your chips then checking and calling to the river.
1. Your opponent might fold
2. If you're raised on the turn, you know you're behind.
