Unless a Tight/Passive has raised or 3bet you then AK is certainly a reraising hand preflop.

The more I look at this hand the more it looks like A2 to me. I can never put anyone on a set of 2s and this is the only hand i can see that would donk out into Hero here. Honestly, there is no reason to donk unless you want to be raised, which would mean a large hand. He is OOP so he cannot be donking for a free card. This means he has a hand. He knows you cannot fold after raising preflop. THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO RAISE THE FLOP!. I didn't see this before. Raise this flop and find out where you are at. If he calls and donks the turn, throw away the AQs here. Lets look how much you could have saved yourself.

No flop raise, you lose 3 more BB
Flop raise, you lose 1 SB, no more BBs.

This player thinks he is good, keep letting him think it, you can definitely outplay him.
