Pair+flush draw faced with turn shove

Pre flop: I would 3-bet. I dont like palying OOP with AK.
On turn: Why pot size bet? you almost commit your self to call his push. bet 1/2 pot and if he push I would fold. Its hard to say without any stats on him, but his push range here is 88, JJ+
And vs his range you are in bad shape.

Hey. I like flatting pre: majority if NL2 players will fold a lot vs a 3bet and only continue with KK+ so we're effectively wasting this hand with a 3bet.
Raising flop is an option but you can flat as well. You have SD value with the nut no-pair and have sufficient odds to call his bet. If he 3bet jams over your raise you have to fold. I'd bluff raise with weaker hands like JTdd that don't have as much SD value.
Once he flats your raise otf then you have very little FE on the turn imo. so you should chk/call or chk/fold depending on the price. You have to discount your A and K outs slightly as they might not be good.
At NL2 it's best to wait until you hit your draw before getting too aggro.

you don't necessarily have to checkraise the nut flush draw. He'll bluff your A/K outs pretty often anyway. And if you hit TPTK, you don't necessarily want to play for stacks either, which is what you are doing when you raise the flop and fire the turn

3 bet for VALUE preflop. flatting AKs on the blinds in nl 2 is a fundamental mistake and will cost you money. As played on turn chk call or bet about half the pot for potcontrol.
