I dont like the reraise here early on with Ak, i wanna keep pots small when flushes and straights are out there, on the turn if we are going to play this hand I like the call or the fold but since its a 6.50 and you decided to take an agressive line.Ill tell ya how to play it...On the river I like the check. You have already made this pot huge, I dont see him calling here with AJ or AQ, but since it is a 6.50 it is possible but he may check raise us and we just bled another 300 chips when if we would have just checked we wouldnt be in this spot at all.

Key is keeping pot small. I would raise less PF 3x or 4x. Having position in this hand is great. Check is good on flop. Turn I prob just call for pot control but raising isn't horrible. Check behind on river.

I like the raise amount preflop (infact I make it t120), AK is a great hand for doubling up early.

Flat-calling the turn is the only good option since there are plenty of hands ahead of you and you don't want a lower heart like Qh, Jh, etc to be raised out of the pot.

As played checking the river should be obvious. On such a scary board there is no point value betting and you can't rely on bluffing a donk off a better hand.

Preflop and flop are nice, turn is debatable, I don't think it's bad but I probably just call it, check behind on river
