Mistake in this hand is made when you don't put a decent sized re-raise pre. You don't want to play AK multi way OOP.
On the flop your bad position comes into effect. You have to call the CO raise, as you are getting great odds to. However, a lot of the time you are behind here, beating only pair and flush draw type hands or a donkey with TPNK.

Reraise pre to get it heads up and define the other player's hands.

Ok, but from the BU, a call would have been the right play, wouldn't it? I mean, I don't want to fold out AQ and worse. Do you agree?

OOP you do, because a flop like this can come, and it's very possible that you're up against AJ, AT, KQ or even JT, and pretty far behind, but you have no way of knowing. RR'ing preflop eliminates all of those hands and gives you a much clearer picture of where you stand on a flop like this. I'd be VERY surprised if you were ahead on the flop here. But like the other guy said, odds are good so you probably have to call here and hope to hit a Q or backdoor flush. I just don't see TPTK holding up here multi-way often at all.
