15 +1 AK is this weak tight

Alright, it seems there is a theme to all the hands I post. That I am to loose aggressive first couple of levels.So I have been trying to tighten up. I hated the way I played this hand because of the turn and river bets. I will usually try to check raise turn, or move in on river?
Thoughts?

You clearly need to move all-in on the flop. The pot is over T2000, which is well over half your stack.

i would just call pre-flop. you really want to play a huge pot out of position against the other big stack? if you don't flop a pair it will be a tough hand.

on the flop, you have 2600 in a pot of 2200. betting 1200 is best, pushing is also fine. betting 600 is too small.

gotta push the turn.

I have been getting the advice of not raising alot. But the hands i am most likely playing against are the ones I have dominated or PP. If i have them dominated I will not hit about 40% of the flops. Then what check and fold? Or if they do have a pocket pair, most flops would be scary enough but if I dont hit just check and fold again?
