25NL AKs BB v UTG in 3b pot

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) BB: $33.95 (Hero)
UTG: $29.64
MP: $27.72
CO: $26.66
BN: $55.71
SB: $25.00
UTG is 27/23/AF=0/22 hands

CO is 20/15/AF=4.0/3B=3/F3B=63/Bet v missed c-bet=53 (not in 3b pots though)
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is BB with K A
UTG raises to $0.75, MP folds, CO calls $0.75, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.80, UTG calls $2.05, CO folds
Since we are in the BB calling seems okay too, this may be a good options especially since we don't have much info on UTG and can avoid building a big pot oop.

However I don't like the idea of playing oop multiway with AK since there is a decent number of flops that we don't hit.

What do you think here ? How would you play this spot ?

What would you have done if the cut-off hadn't called ?
Flop ($6.45) T 7 9
Hero checks, UTG checks
Turn ($6.45) T 7 9 T
Hero checks, UTG checks
River ($6.45) T 7 9 T Q
Hero checks, UTG bets $2.00, Hero folds

How do you like to play in these kinds of spots ? We will miss frequently with AK and I think it's a spot that I usually don't play well. I am not sure whether I am missing a bet here at some point. I would assume that he bets most of his stronger draws / tp / overpairs for value / protection / as a semi-bluff. So when he checks back the flop he will mostly have weak pairs / some GS / few TP hands(that now improved). Do you think we can apply some pressure OTT ? Or start by c-betting this flop ? I think his flatting range hits this board harder than it hits mine (at least a little). Looking forward to some discussion!
