hi i dont mind the flop flat but the turn call is disastrous

Yatahay Network - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 117.5 BB
UTG: 125.5 BB
Hero (CO): 86.5 BB
BTN: 81 BB
SB: 80.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A K

fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, BTN raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, Hero calls 7 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 2 6 3
Hero checks, BTN bets 14.5 BB, Hero calls 14.5 BB

Turn: (48.5 BB, 2 players) 7
Hero checks, BTN bets 57.5 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 57.5 BB

River: (163.5 BB, 2 players) 7

Spoiler:
Hero shows A K (One Pair, Sevens)
(Pre 7%, Flop 1%, Turn 0%)
BTN shows A A (Two Pair, Aces and Sevens)
(Pre 93%, Flop 99%, Turn 100%)
BTN wins 155.5 BB

can somebody tell me how avoid mindlessly dumping chips in this spot?! also why was it so hard to fold? i understand AA vs AK is hard to play correctly but i just wish i had been able to fold please somebody help...should i have shoved pre..generally speaking i find it very hard to get away from hands once ive commited a decent amount of chips in the middle why is this and what can i do about it?

4b and get it in preflop. As played, fold flop, you're getting a terrible price.

You're already under 100bb, so why are you not willing to get this in pre flop? And if you're not willing to get it in preflop then why is it hard to check/fold the flop vs. that insane sizing.

Passive calling stations are the easiest opponents to play - everybody is printing money against you

CO vs. BTN this needs to be a 4bet even at NL2 especially with short stacks.

There is no shame in just check-folding a flop if you don’t connect. If one of your cards was a heart maybe I could get behind a float but even then, out of position, just ditch it and move on.

Your hand was strong preflop but after the flop it no longer is. You should have much better hands in your range to continue with that I think you can let this one go.

I never had a problem with ACR top up. You sure you have it set up correctly?

I'd prefer raising a little bigger from the CO than 2bbs. Definitely need to 4b oop. I think you can fold the flop for that sizing as you're OOP and don't have the bdnfd,

think it has to do with the recent outage, auto top-up isn’t working for me on 1-2 tables when i’m multitabling.
