This whole table is pretty splashy, with 3 players at around 50/20 over small hand samples. Button and SB are two of these Villains and can have fairly wide ranges here (within the modest confidence interval that a 50-hand sample allows). UTG is unknown.

MP ($13.80)
Button ($18.26)
SB ($44.42)
Hero ($35.45)
UTG ($29.46)
Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1</font>, SB (poster) calls $0.90, Hero calls $0.75, UTG calls $0.75.
<font color="blue">Aside: I've got a strong hand against a fairly laggy raise. But, I'm OOP in what's likely going to be a multiway pot. In limit this would be an easy-peasy 3-ball but I'm kinda scared to play this UI as the 3-bettor against these loosies post flop in a big pot OOP. So I just call it?</font>

SB checks, Hero...
My thought process at the time was as follows:
-Button will CB pot 100% of the time with any hand. Might as well let him bet because he won't call with A-high if I donklead.
-So I'll check here; but then what?
-I also want to get SB along for the ride, since he'll call a reasonable amount with a fd, king, probably most pockets, or maybe something like A5 here.
-We kick SB out with a lot of stuff if we c/r. Plus we give up our hand to the button and he'll ditch with anything <Kx, AA. So maybe I'll just call and lead any turn!
It was at this point that I realized I needed help, since my decision was to call AK pf and then slowplay my big hand on the flop, and this can't possibly be right. So what's my play here?
