    yikes!.... I'd really know to know what others think of this as well... I have no idea what to do because two players are in the pot...on raised/called re-raise...the other called raise/called re-raise....ummm... I think I check and wait to see what they do on the turn.

    I'd flat it pre. As played on the flop you have got to bet for value there. ahhhrrrrr in baby.

    Tbh, I never flat pre with AK unless I think they're an ultra nit. What's your 3-betting range if you don't have AKs in there against an unknown?

    AK flat is not bad in position to prevent pot bloating when there is an utg raiser and ep flat caller. They likely have a hand worthy of calling a 3bet from lp.

    I am fine with this preflop (however I would have flatted it with AKo). Here, I just can't imagine that both villians would check on this nasty board unless they are trapping with 2p or a flopped set.

    With that said, unless one of them is on a club flush draw that hits they will most likely check to you again on the turn. I think the best line here is to check behind and play the turn.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    I agree with the others, flat preflop in position. If you were UTG+2 I would probably just shove it right there.

    As played, all-in after two checks. If they are slowplaying a set or two pair, well you still have a few outs.

    I have no problem with the preflop reraise, as played push the flop, the pot is big, and you have hit TPTK, what is your plan if someone leads the turn ?
    Even if they have 2 pair you have 7-10 outs to improve
