Call this river?

Table is loose with a mix of passives and aggressives.

MP1 is a pre-flop LAG, the only hand I saw him limp/call and then showdown was with J2o. He raises, limp re-raises, re-raises or caps with any two suited, any pairs, any ace, any two braodway cards and maybe even T9o or other offsuited no gap connectors. I have him at VP$IP 84%, PFR 45% but his after flop aggression is a modest 1.1. After ~100 hands I have him down over 90BB.

MP3 is semi-loose and passive before and after the flop, but is capable of just taking a shot at a pot if weakness is shown.

MP3 bets, Hero ?

Pot is pretty big now, but I just have AK to show. I don't think he bets the turn without part of the board, but again, I am getting 11:1 to call. This is where I get flustered the most often. Should I have semi-bluffed on the turn (A three-bet would have sucked) and checked behind unimproved? What if I semi-bluff raise the turn and he still leads the river, now the pot is even bigger, what then?

As always any comments or criticism of any part of the hand is welcome.
