This table up to this point had been nuts. Mikeyballs was a complete lunatic raising and reraising every hand with garbage. He had just won a big pot where he reraised somebody with 46s and hit a flush and stacked the guy, but he was playing crazy. Dangerr was the guy he doubled off of, and this guy was also playing very strange and loose. I really didn't want to put a ton of money in preflop OOP with AK, but maybe it was the best play. I just called however and took a flop. It was a good flop for AK and I was pretty sure somebody would bet so I went for the check-raise. I was not pleased to see two callers, so I slowed down and went into the check-call mode to keep the pot size down. They checked behind me and the river was a Q, not a great card since AQ just hit two pair. I still didn't want to play a huge pot here so I checked. There was a big bet and a call in front of me. I wasn't sure what Dangerr had, but I figured if Mikey had two pair or better he would have raised, but regardless I just called. I'm going to keep the results to myself until I get a few responses. Would you call this river as played, and how do you play the flop and turn?

Standard call with KQ in position, and a pretty decent flop for me, TPGK with an OESD. With the one player who called in the BB leading out into 3 other players I didn't see how I was ahead, but should I call and see what the turn card brings / how he plays the turn? It kind of felt like a weak fold, but I think I made the correct decision. Thoughts?
