AK - how did I play it?

I'm very new to NL - wondering how I played this hand? Only at the table a few rounds, but BB seemed to have very loose pf and flop calling standards. Comments welcome on all streets.

seems good to me, specially with this read. Other line could be call turn, for pot controll and bet/push river.

small raise preflop make it 3$, small reraise on flop make it 10$, call turn bet, and push river...

How about the flushdraw?

I would probably played it the same here and i think your line is fine.

Other than bet sizing I think it is fine. I try to get it in on the turn.

I agree that the hand generally looks good, but disagree that the pf bet is incorrectly sized. The way I read it, the bet is 5x with 2 limpers behind, seems about right to me. There's definitley nothing wrong with betting more, but I want to price it high enough that it's incorrect to call but low enough that people will make that mistake. $2.50 feels right. Flop raise, I agree with Pacman, Villan is getting a $5 call into a $18 pot. $10 would be better.
FWIW I snap-call the turn all-in.

In position with 2 limpers this bet size prf is fine to me.
