Default Ugly AKo hand

UTG+2 is very loose, and she was giving me all sorts of problems -- partly because I was having trouble hitting flops but also because (I think) I was playing badly.

She's 71/10/1.5 after 180 hands. Her preflop cap wasn't exactly a surprise. My expectation at the time was that she would cap anything she would open with. (Earlier, she had capped with AJs heads-up, for instance, after the tight BB 3-bet her EP raise. Then she called down unimproved.)

Also, I expected her to bet until played back at postflop.

UTG hadn't gone to many showdowns and had kind of escaped my attention, but his numbers are 34/9/0.4 after 121 hands.

The flop froze me up in this one.

I hesitated while the computer beeped at me, hesitated some more, and then decided a checkraise wouldn't be very convincing after such a long delay. Then I compromised and called.</font>

I'm mostly wondering what I should've done on the flop, but feel free to comment on the rest of the hand as well. (I wasn't really sure what to do on the river, for instance.)
