Villain #1 (raiser) is unknown. Villain #2 (caller) is a big bluffer. #2 is known to play big unsuited cards against more or less any action preflop (i.e. he'd play KJ against my PFR here).

This flop really sucks for AKs, but I've still got overs and a backdoor flush draw. It could be worse.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed)

SB ($3.80)
BB ($12.15)
UTG ($5.45)
UTG+1 ($3.20)
Hero ($3.40)
MP2 ($6.40)
MP3 ($5.85)
CO ($7.60)
Button ($20.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls $0.10, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $0.2</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $0.90, UTG+1 calls $0.80.

I'm really wondering what a decent raise would be for these situations preflop. My standard raise is to around 4x BB, but with a minraise (??) ahead of me, I wasn't sure what seemed appropriate.
