Weird spot against slowplayer

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $11.25
SB: $7.90
BB: $11.27
UTG: $10.00
MP: $19.54
CO: $10.00 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is CO with A K
UTG raises to $0.30, MP calls $0.30, Hero raises to $1.00, 3 folds, UTG calls $0.70, MP calls $0.70
I think my sizing is correct
Flop ($3.15) 2 K T
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets $1.50, UTG folds, MP calls $1.50
I have a pretty good hand here, top pair top kicker with no flush draws in multiway pot, i bet 1/2 psb to value and deny equity from hands i beat and protect against some AQs, QJs which could have call pf
Turn ($6.15) 2 K T Q
MP bets $17.04 and is all in, Hero calls $7.50 and is all in
His donkbet at turn is quite disturbing reviewing this, he can't have AJs it's to EV- to call a preflop 3bet at utg position even if this is a multiway pot.
I just thought that he wanted to rep straight, i have 34% pot odds and i put him turn with a range like QQ,TT,AQs+,KQs,QJs,JTs,AKo so i have something like 47% equity it's profitable call against his shove

Hi friends !

I drop a NL10 CG hand i've played against a villain with no enough sample to get a real idea of his playing profile
Do you think my call turn is profitable or just i get too speewy ? :)

SPOIL: He just slowplayed PP of Kings

Well he did call your preflop raise. He can have a lot of two pairs. He can also have AJs. I think you are very wrong in assuming villain will never have AJs just because general theory is its -EV from that position. It's 10NL. I have seen T2s and 63s call like this. I am definately calling AJs myself against most players because I think I have an edge, and it's really not that bad. Lots of players will also have cards like KQ. You can't sit at micros against random players and assume they will know if every hand is +EV or not and only play them

I'd probably not call with top pair here unless I had a big read. I think they don't overbluff enough like this

Just because it´s -ev to peel AJs there, doesn´t mean villain won´t have it. First of all, calling AJs vs this small squeeze is prob ok, second if you don´t have a bunch of hands on him you can´t assume that.
Your flop play is obv fine, but turn is a clear fold imo. His range is pretty strong already, and we would most likely want to check our hand down if villain allowed us to.
We have to be really optimistic about villain shoving QJs/AQ, which are the only worse hands really, and I don´t think are in his range oftenly.
If he shoves some 2p+ and QJs/AQ, we are prob doing ok, if he only shoves 2p+ we are getting crushed. I believe from my experience that the latter scenario is far more likely, and this call is losing a bunch.
