Preflop
Isolating the limpers is of course fine. Maybe your sizing could be even larger, but its a small detail.

Flop
Its ok to C-bet this board, but full pot is way to much especially with an in between hand like AK high.

Turn
As played its correct to call his lead AKA donk bet.

River
I lean towards a fold here, and its certainly never a raise.

Villain is sick with the stop and go pattern, they got really lucky on that one. AK hits and they get paid for trips, I mean with the flush completing on river you can fold I guess, because you aren't blocking any clubs (also wheel completes on river and if SB is playing 79o he could very well play 34).

This is a great hand to reverse engineer- we see what the V is holding then try to find hands we are a ahead of that they would do the same with on each street---So what value hands play like this- what bluffs would they have?
If we cannot find enough over played value or bluffs then we can fold river most often.

It also helps to take the time to think about the strength of our hand relative to the nuts and V's actions so AK is not a very strong hand on this river--compared to what the V was repping
