I still have doubts about what to do with AK in these spots. Is it ok to check? o raising is better?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

$25/$50 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP2$1305.00:///////;MP3$945.00:///////;CO$2685.00:///////;BU$3110.00:///////;SB$5020.00:///////;BB (Hero)$1395.00:///////;UTG1$3665.00:///////;UTG2$1225.00:///////;MP1$3505.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with K:d, A:h.
UTG1 folds, UTG2 calls $50.00, 3 folds, CO calls $50.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to $250.00, UTG2 calls $200.00, CO folds.

Flop: ($575) 2:d, 8:c, 2:s (2 players)

Turn: ($1255) Q:s (2 players)

It is all about making the right decisions.

raising is always better, we want to try and get the pot HU. AK does not play well multi-way.

as played, your cbet is slightly too big. and your turn bet is just a spew. c/f turn.

my turn bet was just because villain was calling like 75% of the hands, including calling two flop shoves with absolutely nothing. Having these reads, is it a good shove or should i c/f anyway? I mean, villain was very loose...

Doesn't change it. He can still have a pair and be like "I has a pair, I call"
