I stacked the MP with a slowplayed straight a couple hands earlier, but he had been folding to my preflop steals and a couple c-bets before that.

UTG +1 has folded to my steals and nearly all my c-bets, but he's really aggressive when he even thinks he has a decent hand. Ex: Called a nit's massive overbet all-in w K9 on a rainbow 5679 board. Called a $0.42 (21 BB) all-in w 66. So fairly loose, but willing to let go when he misses.

Anything you would change about the way I played this hand? Raise more PF? Flat-call PF (I thought this route was too weak-tight)? Bet more/less on flop?

PF is ok imho, although some people would flat here saying they're going to get called too often and with AK you obv want to see a flop before you commit all your chips.
MP is quite annoying here, and he could have a wide variety of holdings, but mainly pocket pairs given flop action ({JJ+, AJ} actually).

Since you plan to fold to a flop raise (which is the case), bet less (make it $.40 or something, everything which will fold to a .55 bet will fold to a .35/.40 bet). I prefer actually not betting at all and give it up here though (NL2 + out of position + multiway + ace high)

So basically I overplayed my hand. I figured I either did that or underplayed it by not raising it to at least .35 PF.

As played this is an obvious fold on the flop, correct? The raise wasn't that much more, but the odds still weren't great and the only thing I could beat is complete air.

i would make the 3b slightly bigger OOp and agianst 2 opponents.like i dunno,32-38.

the rest looks good.i like the size of your cbet.fold to his shove obv.hes prolly getting it in pretty light,but your behind his 88 and other stuff.

Actually when you bet/raise in NL2 you do it mainly for value, and not for the fold equity because you don't have much (and pretty much never have enough). Preflop, with AK, your goal is normally to take initiative and commit (to a certain point) to the hand when you hit TP. You don't want to bloat the pot pf, because 2 times out of 3 you won't hit, and when you hit, you're likely to get action from NL2 donks who cannot get rid of ace-rag hands. Preflop raise is OK, don't bet more b/c those who will call .28 will call .40 imo. Flatting is ok too (in NL2).

As played, sure fold on the flop. You are 3:1 against to hit top pair.
