On this hand i think i played the post flop correctly, what about the preflop limp?

I'm actually not like the preflop limp, I probabily should have raised the pot there forcing players to pay more to see the flop.

Since i played it this way when the flop comes AK5 two suited with the potential for both a flush or straight draw as well as a possible 5x out there I think the correct play here is to definately not slowplay this hand. Too many players saw this flop and a free card could be very bad for me.

Sounds to me like you already know you should have raised pre-flop.

Yes, I would have raised 2x or 3x the BB. I also agree that given the number of players, I would not slow play this hand. If you only had one caller preflop (b/c of a 3xBB raise), then I might consider slow playing. Let the opponent think you were scared by the AK.
