You should have re-raised all-in. You want to show the BB that you have a big hand because AK is very marginal vs 2 opponents. Doing that forces the BB to have a monster. If you just flat call they may want to gamble with a weak pocket pair if they put you and the button both on Aces with strong kickers. Granted that's a gamblers' move and you rarely will see it, but you re-raise so that it will not happen. (The logic is vs two people w/AK and A10 against your pocket 8's you are getting the odds to call since the 8's will win 45% of the time) An all-in re-raise tells them you may have a stronger pocket pair so they'll lay down the lower pairs.
As for the J-6 it was a classic steal move. He ran into a bigger hand and got lucky, still no fault on your part. You played it right.
