i like to lead flop here. i brain fart with this same situation often and i want to kick myself in the nuts when i do so. fwiw, i feel like i do this when multi tabling, and check to the raza just seems natural.

I like raising preflop OOP with AK as its not a hand I want to play 3 handed oop and 2/3 of the time I miss with it on the flop and I cant lead out as it will have no fold equity and if called you have no idea if a turned A or K is good.

I think since you just called preflop, you are looking to trap a bet from AQ, QQ, etc should you hit, thus checking is fine but once Mp3 leads out instead of PFR, I like a raise here.

chk/call river... river bet is gross.
chk/call, chk/call, chk/call is not a favorite line of mine, but its not awful in this spot- a lot better than betting out the river.
