Hey guys,
Please help me check my line in this hand at a local Los Angeles Casino.
Game is $5/5 300-100BI . Table is quite soft with a mix of regs and new players.
In this hand, UTG1 is a passive fish, calling station but quite straight forward in multi handed pots. SB is an unknown but from show down he seems to be loose pre but straight forward post flop. He's been running really hot crushing the table with all sort of hands, sitting deep.
I raise $25 UTG A♥K♥ , UTG1 LP call, BTN call, SB 3bet $125. I call, UTG1 call, BTN fold.
Stack size: I ($3k) SB ($4k) UTG1 ($1.4k)
Flop ($405) K♣Q♠3♣
SB bet $250, I call, UTG1 call.
Turn ($1155) 6♣
SB check, I bet $360, UTG1 fold, SB tank call.
River ($1870) 2♠
SB check. I bet $750. SB tank fold.
I won the pot but have a few questions:
Is this too ambitious to get AK off of a chop and bluff off AA?
Is turn bet bad because UTG1 is likely to be on flush draw? And SB only call with same or better hand?
If UTG1 or SB shove the turn I'm ready to fold.
One thing to note is that I flatted with AK there because SB is very deep and I didn't want to get it in. But his raise size seems weak to me because of 2 callers behind me, I think his range is quite wide, including AQ and mid pairs, which I'm doing well against. But by flatting I knew that UTG1 will go along with position and maybe even the button. So should I have done anything different pre?
Appreciate you guys time.

I also prefer 4b pre
Turn bet is fine I think, sizing is interesting

I would also 4 bet pre. As played, i like the line until river. I may just check back.

What do you do if 3bet $360 and SB make it $800? Fold?

I think that there's a few combo that would fold to my river bet: AQ (with a club), AK (with a club). Even AA will have hard time calling. Maybe he would call with KK and QQ only. His range is capped to that so I think if I check river it's mostly chop or I lost the pot.

I don't think his line is AK or aces. He most likely had jacks with a jack of club.
