If their range is KK+/AK you need to fold AK preflop. If they 3-bet light you should get AK in especially if you call. Basically if they are very tight fold AK. If they're not you pretty much need to be getting it in preflop. If they have KK+/AK and you just flat AK basically you don't win any stacks but you let KK get away cheap when you would have sucked out on him hitting an A, and donate to AA when you flop a K or when KK+ flops a set and you flop the same pair. You also allow another AK to take the pot away or for that matter any other worse hand that 3-bets you and cbets. Filter your HEM to hands where you had AK and you flatted a 3-bet (not sure if you can pick oop). Note breakeven would be your initial raise size. I'm guessing you're losing far more than if you would just fold it preflop.

I think your other comments are correct, but unless you are saying that this is because of bad villains who think that because they have less money invested they fold more, it's a bit off. It doesn't matter how much of our own money is invested, it matters how much money is in the pot. If I never had to pay blinds, and everyone else put 20% of their stack in preflop, I would have amazing odds to call and would call much lighter than the traditional structure despite having nothing invested.
