    Default AKo, 2 villains, bad c-bet here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($10.20)
    BB ($9.85)
    UTG ($5.40)
    Hero ($10.15)
    MP1 ($10.35)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, A. CO posts a blind of $0.10.
    UTG raises to $0.3, Hero raises to $0.9, 2 folds, CO (poster) calls $0.80, 3 folds, UTG calls $0.60.

    Flop: ($2.85) 8, T, 4 (3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $1, CO calls $1, UTG calls $1. (Bad C-bet here?)

    Turn: ($5.85) Q (3 players)
    UTG bets $0.6, Hero folds, CO calls $0.60. (Good fold, yah?)

    River: ($7.05) 4 (2 players)
    UTG bets $0.4, CO calls $0.40.

    Final Pot: $7.85

    What do you know about UTG? Re-raising lone early opener isn't standard play here, no dead money in the pot and if UTG is nit you face here preflop push/postflop trap too often.

    Bet at least 2/3 on flop as AA-QQ representation or just check, 1/3 pot accomplishes nothing you won't move off better hands (like missed PP's) with such a small bet.

    If you want to play AK like this (3b PF and bomb most boards) make sure your opponents are not total calling stations and can fold some weak hands to implied threat.

    maybe it's from playing too much short hand but I think pre flop is good for isolation and value.
    however I would check/fold the flop because it's low cards, draw heavy, and you aren't heads up. If you do bet, make it more substantial like vrax wrote.
