I was the 2nd chip leader and in dealer position.
I raised to 4x BB with AK. Both the tight small blind and the loose aggressive big blind (the chip leader) called.

the Flop was 7 7 A

Both of them checked. and I bet the pot. The small blind folded And the loose aggressive guy raised me minimum. I called.

the Turn was a 8. Then he bet all-in. I called and he flipped J7s. I was drawing almost dead to his trips.

Can anyone tell me what my thinking process should have been?

I thought wow, I haven' raised preflop a lot so he should expect that I have the aces. However, there was also a chance that he had Ace little or middle, or think that I was bluffing since I made a pretty big bet post flop. He had been bluffing constantly, and I didn't give respect to his bets.

How do you get away from this kind of hand?

Also, I definitely admit that I made the mistake of not raising enough preflop with AK against a LAG. I've now learned the hard way that against those who don't respect my raises, I have to raise a lot bigger with premium hands like AK.
