Can't think of a range of hands that raises turn for value that doesn't beat AK,
in retrospect its probably a fold,

But in-game, dont know if I would have the discipline

If he's flatting in this spot pre chances are he could have many aces in his range you are beating so folding seems ridiculous to me.

yeah, def bet flop and def sigh shove turn, doubt hes ever bluffing or folding AJ or w/e if he has it so no real merit in flatting

bet flop, fold turn against a random
min raise by villain on the turn is almost always a slowplayed set

Yeah I don't hate folding the turn, this line is usually super strong and can beat top pair. However if we think he can have AJ/AT in his range I guess it's a "sigh shove" as DFish said.

shove and feel somewhere between pretty and really good about it.
but because you posted i suppose you'll have to hope for river Q or K
