How to defend AK?

I definitely had to raise the turn, then the SB might have folded.
Giving up TPTK for one bet in a pit that large. Isn't that the biggest mistake? Can I be more than 14% sure that I'm beaten?

SB has been totally comatose, but then makes a really strong river move. The old adage about not folding for one bet in a large pot is not gospel; consider why the pot has got so large and who's doing the betting.

Could be, but I think I probably cap w AQ and maybe even AJ here also.

You are behind to UTG on the flop already. Calling down is okay, even though you must expect to lose. The river c/r is a certain sign that you are beaten two ways, so a fold here prolly is fine...

IMO capping the flop with AQ and AJ against normal players is leak.

If I think about it and look at the hand, I wasn't in the lead it was UTG.
I was actually more than 14% sure, actually it was pretty clear to me.

Yeah, river is a fold the second time without any particular reads.
