100 NL, tricky spot with AK OOP 100 NL, tricky spot with AK OOP

Hi, all. This hand took place at the CCG on Party where villain and I were quite deep and I felt trapped with AK and a ton of outs.

Hero SB, 374$
CO , 125$
Button , 365$

CO (27/23) opens for 3$, button (30/17) makes the call and I (27/22) wake up in SB with AK and 3bet to 15$. My standard here is to 3bet to 14$, but since button and I are so deep and I am playing OOP, I wanted to slightly increase my fold equity and take it down right away or even better, play HU. But alas!, both villains called.

Flop (46$)
Q105

I always have a hard time to play AK when I flop a broadway gutter and my overs OOP. IP, I will bet at times, and other times take the free card. On this particular flop, I plan on X/shoving vs CO and X/calling button (is this appropriate, you guys think?). Against CO, I want to get max fold equity and am not scared of committing and thus realizing my equity (assuming he bets), but vs button, I do not want to X/R and be left with awkward stacks on the turn and not knowing what to do. Thoughts?

CO checks, button bets 35$, I tank call, CO folds.

Turn (116$)
7

I check again, button bets 55$. I elect to call. Would you guys do anything else? I mean, I have 324$ and a jam seems to be committing too much versus a range that is still fairly wide, yet seems value orientated. Would having the A change our decision? I elected to call and simply realize my equity. Thoughts?

Hope I posted this correctly, as I am an MTT player (and usually post MTT hands) and have been dwindling around in the CCG games, as they are quite soft. Thx for the feedback
