Turn call is iffy - you are only 1 sb over breakeven and the board is paired.

Sometimes his overcards are live, and most of the time he has at least 4 outs. Good enough for me.

This is true. A pp will often donk this turn.

Default Re: AK button hand.

Why are we raising the flop? We are probably behind, can't protect our hand, and face the possibility of getting bet-3bet by an aggressive BB, all with a very weak hand.

I'm not sure how much of a maniac the BB is, but he is very unlikely to be donking a draw to a preflop capper and 3bettor. Also, given his stats he is almost certainly committing himself to showdown with this action, so we have almost no folding equity in the hand.

Possible merits include getting UTG to fold his obvious AKo or AQ on the turn, but for this to pay off it would require too great a parlay to even worth considering. As for the free card, I think its pretty unlikely, and might get very expensive in a hurry.

All these factors would lead me to just call on the flop. As played the turn call is fine as you have 4 outs to the gutshot, and your overcard outs are definitely worth something.
