Default AK paired vs. check raise/raise

BB is a little fishy, no pre-flop raises, lots of calls. Am I beat here?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
6 players

Converter


Pre-flop: (6 players) HERO is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">HERO raises to $1</font>, 4 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($2.1, 2 players)

BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">HERO bets $2.1</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $4.2</font>, HERO calls.

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($10.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets $8.25</font>

Get out of the hand, it's not worth it. Who cares if he's bluffing, just get him next time when you do have a hand.

Fold. It's hard to work out what he has if he's a pro calling station. Wait till you have a strong hand before you punish him.

I would think this guy has either an ace or the flush draw. That turn bet smells like a semi-bluff, especially after you called the flop min-raise. Depending on stack-size, I may call this bet. If I were a larger stack, I would definitely call this bet on the turn.(Larger stack = +$10 BB stack)

One reason I would not fold this is exactly because he is a calling station, and usually doesn't bet out. My response may be a questionable move, but after experiencing many calling stations against me, aggression = impatience a lot of the time. That's just from my experience, however.

calling stations dont general start showing aggression until they pick up a big hand, he most likely has 2pair/set here, id get out and wait for a better spot.
