standard, imo. You can't really 3-bet AK pf if you're not intending to stack when you flop top/top. There are obviously exceptions, but the vast majority of the time you should be stacking in spots like these, especially with such a draw heavy board that it's so easy for villain to have a hand you beat (like KQ/KJ of hearts).

more often than not, call and then minraise you are probably down, but its hard to get off it being that deep in and not even a great idea to fold most of the time

I like a 3-bet to 12-14 preflop, since at 10 they're still roughly getting odds to setmine. But then again, I like to 3-bet fairly large, especially against bad players, since they'll call with worse. Don't just hit the bet pot button.

As played, I think I'd have a hard time folding TPTK in a 3-bet pot. People just go ape-sh1t in 3-bet pots for some reason.

I don't like the flop betsize. Versus two opponents, I'd definitely bet bigger there, maybe $20 or $22. The idea is to shove the turn. If you bet $20 and get called by one player, you'll have almost exactly a potsized bet, so you can shove the turn without overbetting.

Either way, you definitely stack off there. You flopped about as good as you could hope, so this is very standard.
