What can you do? The flop raise is an unwelcome development, but it doesn't necessairly mean you're beat, and I don't really see how you can get away.

I think this hand basically just displays some of the hazards of raising AK preflop (which, of course, is fine) and then getting called in two places.

Depends on Villain. Against a donk who raises you with Kx you can just shove the flop. Against a solid player it is more likely that he has 55 or 77 and want to protect his hand.
The problem with calling here is that you are nearly committed and have to call an allin on the turn.
Against unknown I would say fold and wait for a better spot.

Looks good. I don't mind getting it all in on the flop either.

I shove flop, I dont think you give up or lose a lot vs. a standard NL25 player.

I fold against an unknown. Sometimes push. What does a call accomplish?

I would probably cbet more 3-way with 2 hearts out there. Then just 3bet AI, I don't like calling.

Flop or turn?
I would consider a flop fold here against an unknown.
People mess about less in multiway pots.

I wanted to push turn, although its much better to push at the flop.

I think at NL25 villains are way too passive, and a raise in multiway pot means usually two pair or better. Am i right ?
