Re: AKs - what to do, what to do?
Honestly, you played the AK too far. Yes, it's suited, but you didn't flop teh draw. Yes, AK looks pretty, but it's a drawing hand only. The sooner you start to re-think how you play AK, the better off you'll be.
The re-raise on the flop was fine - to get info. I think you got your info and you should be done with the hand right there. The 3s only compounded the issue.
"Lagtards" catch hands when you least expect them too.
Additionally, I think you should have raised more pre-flop. Maybe to $3.50 or $4 - whatever you think would get everyone to fold. You really don't want to see flops with AK. Now, if someone calls, that should tell you they have a big hand - theorectically, as it depends on the players. If you get re-raised, you should let it go, because you should be up against KK or AA, even QQ from a looser player. Raising to $2 doesn't give you much info as any loose player is going to call w/ most A's, any PP and most suited (or un-suited connectors). Make it unprofitable or at least uncomfortable for them to call.
But to answer your question - No. You cannot call there.
