Default AK ragged board

PF I knew I had BB beaten. He was pretty loose raiser. CO is the problem here. He will call to river with any pair. On flop I am fairly sure I have BB beaten and tried to maybe push him off or 'valueraise'. After CO calls I am sure that he has a pair too. What do I do on turn? Any help appreciated!

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, CO calls, BB calls.

Flop: (12.40 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

BB checks, Hero ?

i'd raise the turn, and fold if reraised.

i'd check the river unimproved and probably fold to a bet.

(does everyone cap with AKo? i'd normally just call here)

I would have called if the player that 3-bet wasn't loose raiser.

I cap with AKo unless I'm against someone who only raises with AA or KK...which is never.

I'd go ahead and bet that turn card and thats probably the last cent I'd put in that pot.

I'm a fan of betting the turn and checking the river for a showdown if you can get it though.

Advantages:
-you maintain the betting lead
-you don't give any free cards
-it costs the same as checking the turn and calling the river
-with position, you can show down your A high hands as cheaply as possible
-you defend against river check-raises.

Disadvantages:
-in betting the turn, you'll get check-raised some of the time, but you should be able to fold if this happens.

Why is this and advantage?

this one is kind of iffy. I think that this is more of a concern when there's actually a chance we already have the best hand. That is not the case here.

We should not be calling a river bet UI anyways, so this is irrelevant

I don't think we should be looking to show down here UI

this seems illogical, but I can't describe why.

I am checking this turn.

take away the CO calling and make the hand HU and the advantages and disadvantages apply.

with two callers i can see checking here and hoping to spike and A or K.

Yes, HU this is an easy bet turn/check behind scenario.

i have this habit of retardedly posting things that aren't applicable to the hand in question...so my list was just my thoughts on a HU situation.

Which doesn't really apply to this hand.

I've gotta stop doing that...

I think you should check, since:
-To me it looks as if CO could be on a draw, if he checks through you can be pretty sure he is.
-I don't think you will fold them both with a bet, and you don't have a hand worth protecting.

If CO bets, assume that you are behind, I give you 4 outs here (the hearts have to be discounted), which makes a call very marginal but ok.

And yes, c/f river UI
