3-bet or fold preflop. I tend to fold w/o reads.

I think post flop is really really bad. I likely call his check raise and call down. Let him bluff if you are ahead and you loose less if you're behind. As you played it why call the flop cap if you're folding the turn?

So my major point is this, if we're calling his UTG PF raise without any reads, we have to see a showdown if our flop hits. If we're giving him credit for AA,KK,or AK why are we calling in the first place?

FWIW I think 3-betting is better than folding in this spot but if he's an unknown either way. We're not putting him on AA-KK and AK preflop, we're putting him on these hands (and occasionally AQ/AJ) based on the flop action.
