Default NL20 AK on KK5 board with a lot of preflop action

Hi. How would you play this hand? No stats on villians. Im not sure about check or bet flop. Would i really bet etc AA on this board with this action? Wich line would you choose?

I want to play a big pot, but its hard except for if someone got KQs or something like that. I did not raise turn beacuse that would scream strenght. Help me out! What amount would you raise on river?

Then you can't check the flop and basically check the turn (calling a 1/8 psb on turn is basically a check).

Such a weird hand. What does SB cc a 3bet with? What does SB bet 1/8pot on turn and 1/11pot on river. To be honest, if I don't cbet flop or raise turn here, I am lost. I can't narrow villains' hand. If you had shown any aggression on the flop or turn, then at least you can get some idea where you stand in the hand. As played, either villain could have 44, 55 or 66. Or AK. Are you raising because you think you have the best hand, or are you planning to fold to a shove?

I hate being stuck in between the raiser and bettor on the river. At least one of them should be out by now if you had bet flop or turn. I just can't imagine playung the hand this way, so it is hard to know what I would do.

wow, what is up with the flop check? you 3 bet PF on the BTN so you should fire at least 1/2 pot on the flop here, especially on a board that hits you hard like this. Often times villain will not give you credit for the King and be willing to stack off 10-10 to Q-Q here. your hand is strong but not invulnerable. K-Q or worse would also stack off if you bet here.

As played, call. Fear a set turned full house.

I think you have to bet the flop.

The re-raise preflop is why they're all checking to you, with or without a king. Don't disappoint them! Let them check/raise you all in! If you win right there, that's fine too.
