okay, did i act right here or should i have raised/bet more?

i really feel uncomforable with AK

Don't limp in with AKo, this is a raising hand. I would say raise about 2.5bb here

When people limp it shows weakness and your opponent might have seen you as a weak player.

When your opponent checked on the turn, it should of been the information you needed to see if your opponent had anything, you shouldn't of checked back but put a bet here, say like half the pot to see what your opponent did. Checking here again shows weakness!!

Just remember when you are last to act you have the chance to win the pot if callers before you check, you should be putting out a small bet here just to see what your opponents do if they call they could be chasing a draw, if they raise then you fold so not to lose anymore chips.

I guess I can understand the preflop call with the 68, but when it missed everything why bet it on the end when the is another player in the hand who could have anything over an eight high? You have to know your only gonna get a call from a hand that can beat you.

UTG min raised and you called, the problem is that you have now priced everybody else in to call. (and the bb did)

I would have 3 bet to about 75..and then played in position with the betting lead.

Lol I thought that 30 was the bb not the min raise, that will teach me a lesson for watching his boom while playing the BR :D

I will keep to what I said about AKo Aks even if you do feel uncomfortable playing AK don't limp with it and if someone min-raises then you 3 bet it by timing their bet by 3 or 5 times their amount.

Thats the language, my friend.
AK is definitely a raising hand, doesnt matter whether its suited or not ( suited better of course, but its not the only factor ).
Limping shows weakness? You might be right about this, mate, but poker is about strategy. If you can make yourself look weak in your opponents eyes, but youre actually having a strong hand you will get rewarded 2x as you usually could ( Thats of course if we dont count the lack of bluffing , should I Clear that? If your opponents seems to think youre a weak player youre better of not bluffing him. )
And a check on the flop,river,turn doesnt always mean that he has a weak hand, he could also be trapping you and you raising him falls right into it. In order to avoid these traps, you need to have information that is acquired in the last few hands, to know if he is checking with nuts or he is often bluffing? Does he raise when he hits his hand? You should also look for betting patterns and all that. You cant define his hand just by seeing him check one hand.
