Re: Top pair vs PF raiser
PF: fold.
Moving past that...
Flop: 3-bet for three reasons: 1) to charge the hell out of people calling with small pairs in the hole, or low/mid board pair 2) to find out where you're at with the PF raisor and 3) you will probably get top pair with a better kicker to fold if they're passively playing along.
Turn: OK. Sometimes I'll let the player who finished the action the previous round start it up here and sometimes I'll CR. Change up your play up here.
River: Fine since he raised the turn. Another option is to fold the turn or river sometimes.
Your opponent over-played his AK a bit and gets a note next to his name. He should check through on the river most times and usually only call the flop and fold the turn unimproved if he isn't getting odds.
We're all guilty of over-playing AK now and then (I'm guilty for sure).
