why do i have a feeling someone had AK of clubs?

You had to be banging your head on the desk when you saw that turn card.

So many hands for you to lose to.

KK QQ AK AT are the possible hands I think, not to mention the flush draw.

The only way I don't see you losing this hand is if your opp is holding KQ.

Good push on the flop I think, although NL is not my usual game.

Hmmm.... not sure what to think of this one...

You probably lost the hand, but I don't hate your play here. All-in on the flop may have been overkill though. A pot sized bet gives you some room to think if you get re-raised huge. It's hard to get away from a set here though since AK/AQ are likely holdings for him and AT is much less likely to have been raised from early position pre-flop. I'm losing my stack here too, most likely. If you bet just the pot and got called on the flop, it gets much easier to throw that hand away when the turn comes with a scare card.

The other thing I don't like about the push on the flop though is that you might scare off some worse hands that would have called a pot sized bet. You might only be getting called by better hands (or very strong draws) by pushing.
