I feel like my play for this hand was pretty poor. I didn't have much read on MP2, but I knew he was a sophisticated player. Where did I go wrong?

I think you played it fine. It sucks when AK misses. I guess you could check behind on the flop, but then if the turn misses you and your opponent bets you are left wondering if you have the best hand. Tough situation you can check sometimes, but I think betting is the better play. Cards happen.

No leak, stop worrying. You put in a standard raise, he called. You flopped nothing but bet-out aggressively, no problem. His check-raise says he is not afraid of your AK, 99, 88 etc. , or maybe flopped a set. You fold, correctly.

I don't see any mistakes here.

You underbet the pot on the flop. If you do this with your good hands too, it's not really a problem, but maybe your bet telegraphed to your opponent that you missed the flop.
