CO ($34.45)
Button ($19.45)
SB ($13.20)
BB ($9.85)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A, K.
3 folds, MP1 raises to $0.85, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.85, 3 folds, BB calls $0.60.

Flop: ($2.65) K, 4, 2 (3 players)

 Yeah what they said, and actually the way you played it I may fold the river also, he seems to come alive there strangely.

EDIT: Yep I'm right.

Me? I woulda reraised it preflop because I have AK and I have position. Moreso the fact that I have position. Let's make it $1.50-$1.75, somewhere about there.

If I don't raise there, I'm definitely raising the turn. What am I afraid of here? and if I don't raise on the turn, exactly what do I plan on doing on the river? Raise to $5 - $5.75

Third best option raise on the flop. However, this might chase away hands that I'm beating and since I didn't raise preflop, I'll let him keep thinking that his hand is good until the turn. Raise to $2.50

Fourth best option: no raising - kinda what ahppened here.

Anyway, man, those are my choices and reasoning. Good luck and ask i fyou have any questions. If I don't respond, you can always PM me as well.

Thanks for the detailed response with the reasonings, Ensign, exactly what I was looking for.

I have been starting to reraise AK more often, will def do in future. I'll lean towards turn raise over flop raise depending on the villian.

I got done with that hand and I'm like "Darn it, I just played the roll of a calling station, ack".

Now watch yourself Ensign, you know they are always the first to get picked off!
