I can't think of any hand he bets this small with that calls a big raise and and psb on the turn. Then main problem is that I'm oop and if he calls turn, I don't wanna have to check/call a big river bet with A hi.

Tx? 8x? Who knows. One thing to consider is that since you hit TPTK 1/3 of the time when you raise AK (slightly smaller percentage when you raise AQ since you could hit a KQx flop, but still close), having two callers preflop gives you a pretty much even-money overlay to hit top pair postflop. When you only hit a gutshot and you're out of position, this isn't a spot where you should feel the need to fight for the pot. As gross as folding to tiny ass bets feel, I just fold.
