Big pot w/ AK

Hey all, long time listener first time poster. Thought it'd be about time to improve my game by posting hands.

This hand I'm not sure about my post-flop play. I thought I'd peel the flop with two overs + backdoor flush draw. Is this reasonable even for two bets, or was I too optimistic about my chances?

UTG is LPA, MP3 is LAA, UTG+1 is LPP.

Edit: Apologies, I should have posted this is the microlimit forum.

I don't see overcards being enough for the win here (UTG just called the whole way pf, i smell a set) plus the action is too heavy to see if you can hit a runner runner flush draw. Not only did you cold call a two bets, it was then capped back around to you. For two bets I might see another card, because then you can put UTG on just a small pocket pair, betting at the rag flop. Then your overs are still possibly good.

The pot is big enough that I'd probably peel here too, especially given how crazy things can get at a .50/1 table. But against sane opponents, then yes, you're probably drawing to just your backdoor flush draw...or in other words, not getting nearly enough in pot odds to see the turn for 2 bets (twice).

I would have played this different. I like your re-raise BF but not your cap, there is no point. almost all will call so save a bet just in case you miss your flop. if you hit, then you can start building the pot up.

after the flop I would think that if you catch a or K you would have the winning hand (if it's not the K of hearts)but I would not be willing to hope for 2 bets there. I think one bet would be ok to call.

at this point:
-there is no bluffing - they will call,
-if you do catch an A or K on turn then the possibility of you being beat already is still there

I would just fold and wait to take control of another hand.
