Hy Everyone!

Postflop better play 2/3 or bigger cbet size or check and call the flop and fold the turn if not comes A, K or diamonds.

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players

SB: $5.09 (101.8 bb)
Hero (BB): $7.66 (153.2 bb)
MP: $5 (100 bb)
CO: $4.28 (85.6 bb)
BTN: $5.12 (102.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♦: K♦:
CO posts BB OOP, MP raises to $0.15, 3 folds, Hero raises to $0.70, MP calls $0.55

Flop: ($1.49) J♠: 4♦: 5♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.72, MP calls $0.72

Turn: ($2.93) J♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $3.58 and is all-in, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

$2.93 pot ($0.12 rake)
Final Board: J♠: 4♦: 5♠: J♣:
Hero mucked A♦: K♦: and lost (-$1.42 net)
MP mucked and won $2.81 ($1.39 net)

Nothing more you can do.
I would cbet as well.
Turn is so awful. Check/fold.

I would play the same way. Against very aggro players i would consider x/raise flop or x/call.

3bet size could be smaller preflop with AK as it is still a drawing hand

In general in 3bet pots i prefer a cbetting size between 1/3 to 1/2 pot because since we're not deep, we will get it in.

I also would't 3bet that big.

OTT iam not sure if villain's vbetting the jack here. There's no reason for his ship. With TT+ iam not sure to call here. But AK is a fold with simply those overcards. Sometimes we're beat yet.
