It always amazes me how clearly so many poker players telegraph their AK with the preflop raise you made, bet near-pot on flop then check the turn etc.

You really should read Sklansky's books where he repeatedly says that you put yourself in the WORST of all worlds by raising 3-4xBB preflop. You get called and go to flop and you have absolutely NO IDEA what villain holds and he controls the hand from that point on, especially if you just call then check the turn etc as you did. Basically you're telling him you got AK and asking him to shove cos he knows you have little idea what he has.
