Re: AK in a monster pot... played too passively?
Preflop seems good.
Post flop you put in 2.5 BBs.
How about rasing the flop? This will cost you 1 BB (2SB), and could get many people to fold even at this table. Then if you hit the turn, you're in a better position. If you miss the turn you fold.
This scenario: post flop you put in 1BB not 2.5BB. Or you put in more BBs but have a much better chance of winning when if you hit the turn.
Even if you are reraised on the flop and check that you only put in 3SB= 1.5 BB. Then if you miss the turn you fold.
I think this is why raising the flop and folding the turn unimproved is better. You put less money in, and if you hit, you have less opponents against what amounts as a dangerous flopd for you almost no matter what.
