You need to be raising the flop. Most players aren't going to be limping AK/K9 so you are almost always going to be ahead on this flop. Additionally, with the texture of his flop they will tend to have hands that look strong (pair+draw, open ended, flush draw, etc.) that they aren't going to want to fold to your raise. With stacks this deep you should be looking to build the pot as quickly as possible so you can try to get all in at some point in the hand.
you have to c/r flop bet turn/river
also donking turn seems bad esp when u c/c flop
and dont mini 3 bet make it 300 or so and VB most rivers
as played call
