Prefold is tough, but as NL2 players generally are very tight, I prefered calling as it's very hard to play this hand OOP in a big pot against a tight range.
My thought process on the turn was like this: Because villain probably bet every strong hand on the flop (such as AJ, KJ (not sure if in range), JJ+, flush draw(?)), the only hand that really improved on the turn is AK. As I have all other AK dominated, bringing it is the best solution as any

on the river kills the action.
