With four limpers in front, I think you have to raise bigger here, maybe to 275
or so. You're almost always going to get at least one call with this raise.

440 in the pot, my rule of thumb is to (almost) never bet less than half the pot
on the flop because if you're against a draw you'll be offering them odds that
are too attractive. I probably make it 250 or 275 here.

drawing hand seems reasonable, or he could think that you missed with AK

840 in the pot, I probably make it more than 300 again. 400 or 450 maybe,
especially because I don't love that card.

Yikes. Bad card.

I probably fold here. On the other hand, if you'd bet more aggressively
throughout the hand, you'd probably have been all-in on the turn. You might
want to try a blocking bet here of 300 again to discourage a bluff. Still, so
many hands beat you, I can't think what he could have that you can beat.
