River (2590.00) A♥
SB checks, Hero moves all-in for 260.00, SB moves all-in for 260.00

Ok, so firstly, i limped -> which was probably a bad idea. I'm not sure what i was thinking at the time, but what i really want to ask about is the post-flop play.
After the flop, i had a flush draw, two overcards and a straight draw so i called.
Then he did such a small bet, so i raised.

Hi,

You should really raise preflop, AK is way to strong to limp it, but on the other hand it is to vulnerable to play it against 3 or more players on the flop.
So def. raise it preflop.
On the flop you have 2 overcards, the FD and a gutshot, so go for a big check/raise there, if it is possible go all in on the flop, other wise raise big and push the turn.

A big check raise is best here because it is used to maximize fold equity if we miss our draw and build pot if we hit? Or am i missing something?

this, and because we're quite far ahead here against any hand except a set.

ok thanks.
You said check/raise the flop though. He bet out almost the pot size, what should i reraise?
Around 3 times the bet, or just shove it ?
