Badly Played?

It's not uncommon for a pre-flop raise to be flat-called with AK.

It is pretty uncommon for a player to limp with AK, and then call a raise. The OP raised from the big blind after several people limped in.

If you aren't happy with AQ on this flop after this preflop action, you are setting your standards way too high, and you just won't get enough monsters to avoid blinding down.
