I'm betting this flop heads up. AK is often still the best hand here, but it's vulnerable and I'm protecting my equity. When you check back, and overbets a turn K, alarm bells should be going off. What hands does he think you have when you raise UTG then check back that flop? It sure looks like you have AK, and he is betting big into you when a K turns. He could've checkraised the K, but the overbet donk is still scary. I think you can make a case for folding to this turn bet until you get a stronger read. You said he's playing very tight, so I'm not sure what he calls with pre here that makes sense. AK/KQ/88/77/67s/78s/9Ts/56s/Axdd. And that's a bit of a wide range for calling when you're talking about calling a raise OOP from an UTG raiser. If it's me, you can throw out just about all of those hands except AK, but I don't bet the K, I let you do it.
I think I can slink away from this hand on the turn, and then again on the river if I call turn. If I see some live reads that point towards this being bluffy then I can see calling down, but without that information I'm out.
