.25/.50 free for all. What's my line?

Generally speaking, I just check/call all the way down once the pot gets this huge unless I spike an ace. But I find myself in this situation all the time and it's not really addressed in any of the literature.

Fold the turn. AK is not a made hand.

Correct. Fold the river though.
Even though I think some of your outs are partial. Reads are important too.

Fold the river. A high is winning this pot close to never.

The rest looks good.

Just in case, if BB had not capped preflop, I hope you weren't betting the flop.

I don't ever bet this flop. I treat AK as a drawing hand unless it's 3-way or heads up and I think both my opponents may have missed (In which case, I tend to be the aggressor).

What read would you need to make this river call?

Opponents playing their cards face up would be a good start.

Normally this is sound advice, but look at the size of the pot on the turn! Even if you discount both your overcards to 1.5 outs, 17:1 is plenty to call. Fold the river for a single bet, most definitely for 2.

I'd be tempted to call the river for a single bet because the pot is so huge, but since it was raised in front of you you should definitely fold on the river
