AK TPTK, fold...?

I really don't like how I played this one. What'd I do wrong?
-Reraise preflop?
-Call or fold on flop?
-Check or bet on turn?

I think the fold was absolutely necessary, as Button's bet indicated AQ to me. Please tear me apart. Thanks.

I don't think you reraise AK OOP position preflop. I think you fold this flop and wait for the next hand. The betting says to me that you're behind and don't have odds to call there, so just be done with it.

Aggreed. Playing a re-raise OOP is hell. With two opponents, I think you are facing at least a 2-pair on the turn. I would fold the flop.

The converter says 4 players on the flop but it only looks like 3. In any event I agree with Jester, let it go on the flop, especially since you are multiway without so much as a pair. (I wouldn't reraise preflop either.)
