Thoughts?

mhh.. looks like you are up against AQs, QQ, AA or AK too.
I would rather 3-bet the flop and then call down if he caps or else lead the turn if he checks it.

But the board must become very scary to fold this.

[hicherbie]

any reason to not just reraise on the flop?

[MrWookie47]

I'd be inclined to 3bet the flop and call down if capped. You're not as likely to be so far ahead here that getting fancy and waiting to raise the turn is best.

I'd rather 3-bet the flop and call down from there is villain shows further aggression.

[soko]

3 bet flop, protect your hand by trying to get the button out!

[fl0w]

What about preflop, was it correct to cap the betting?

[Reqtech]

How cute. UTG limp reraised pf and check raised the flop.

I would 3-bet the flop and call down on the turn and river if he capped it.

[toss]

Yes its almost always correct to cap with AK at this level.

[EliteNinja]

3-bet the flop.
Lead out if flop 3-bet is called.
Go into check/call mode if flop capped.
