Default Re: 10-20 AK hand - What do my opponents have?

Deciding what to do preflop with AK when it's been 3-bet is something I've been struggling with. It has a lot to do with what your opponents raising standards are, of course. Against a player whose raises I respect, I'd just call the 3-bet. You may be up against AA-JJ. AK is likely but I think AQ is less likely b/c most solid players would muck AQ to a raise.

On the turn, there aren't too many hands you can beat if you call or raise here. You lose to QQ, JJ, AQ, and chop with AK. I suppose it's possible he'd 3-bet with TT but that's not going to happen often enough for calling/raising to be the correct play. You have 4 clean outs (the tens). But even if you spike one of them, you may end up chopping.

I like your turn fold.
