5/10 live. My AK gets 6 callers and turns a pair.

You really need to raise more preflop.
5 limpers to you, including the blinds the pot is already 65 bucks.
You need to make this at least 130 to go and see what happens. As soon as the first person calls, everyone else is going to feel like they now have odds to come along with ATC (they are live players afterall).

Also, not continuation betting on the flop put you in a horrible spot. Now you have TPTK and yet you have absolutely no idea where you are in the hand other than in an uncomfortable situation.

So now you are donked into and got a caller. This bet could be "i have a set and want you to raise hoping you caught the Ace" or "I want to see my flush draw cheaply so lets put a bet out there in fear of having to call a real bet if anyone else makes one"

You can't fold, so I think you need to call and just hope you are facing a smallish bet on the river as well....

I think making it $130 preflop is an overbet.

I also don't see the point of continuation betting this flop into 5 other players.

cbetting w/ AK into a 6 way pot unimproved can't be the right play especially when you have position.
