AK vs bad flop...

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion board, because it’s fits better there.
I would most likely raise pre-flop a little bit more. I would raise 3x pus 1bb per limper and that’s now 5bb in total. The rest of the hand seems standard for me. We don’t beat something against 2 players and if the CO was bluffing it’s too bad.

iso raise at least 5bb. Can be bet on the flop 60%, but check and give up is a little better.

Betting the flop wouldn't be bad but I think I like checking more.
But I'm not sure if this is a clear check fold. You still have 2 overcards and some backdoor draws, giving up vs a single bet looks quite weak.

Thank you guys!!

Yea raise to 5bb or 6 preflop. Postflop i'd opt to bet here around half pot. They most likely missed the flop so they'll have to fold often. Otherwise we still have ~6 outs to hit toppair.

Raise bigger preflop. Flop is fine to continue, anywhere from 25-60% pot seems reasonable, just make sure you do the same thing with some of your value hands. I'd cbet all of my A♣Kx or AxK:club:. Or you can comfortably check call the flop with this hand and just play the pot odds on turn.
