Should Hero Raise a donk lead with NFD?

In this hand I am the preflop raiser against a laggy type player who has shown bluffs in the past. With AKs on a suited flop, does raising have merit vs the donk lead? I've heard that donk leads are often weak hands and I should raise them often. As played I just called down, hoping he might have some weaker flush draws

If the lag has bet tells on the turn..then weighting for the turn can be best....
Also against some lags if you raise the flop you can expect an all in shove..with A K this can be a snap call...if you had something like QJs for you draw, then you would be more inclined to put the last bet in..... and a turn riase/shove is better.
What I take away from a hand like this is not how to play it, but what notes I need to take on the donking and barrelling tendencies of each lag in the furture.
On a paired board like this the donk almost always is a 7 or lower pocket pair asking the question "do you have a pocket pair greater than a ten?".
Just say "yes I do"
Flat the flop, if you pick up additional equity on the turn J-A I would consider raising for value.
Please don't post your results, which can lead to bias feed back as you see everyone said raise the flop above.
Also I like the check back on the river because if villain has 88, 99, Tx he is not going anywhere. But if you did have Tx here and played the hand in a similar way, a polarizing PSB on the river is probably most +EV line.
I agree that OP shouldn't post the results. That being said, I didn't advocate for a raise because I saw the results; I'd advocate for a raise here every single time, and I'll explain why.
1) As I noted initially, there needs to be semi-bluffs in a raise range, and this is the best one.
2) Let's agree that it's HIGHLY unlikely that SB is donking with complete air. It's just not likely enough to give it too much consideration unless SB is a maniac capable of double- or triple-barreling with absolutely nothing.
3) Let's say that SB has pocket 77s or pocket 10s. Yeah, we're screwed. But, would SB really lead out with that hand??
3) Let's say that SB has a 7. Balls. In this rare case, we still have considerable equity when called. Again, would SB really likely lead out with this hand?
4) Let's say that SB has a 10. Depending on SB's kicker, folding, calling, and raising are all possible. Either our A or K -- if not both -- would be good if it hits, as would all our hearts. That makes it approximately a coin-flip. So, if SB folds -- great: we just got a better hand on the flop to fold. If SB calls -- great: we can apply further pressure on the turn. If SB raises/shoves -- fine: this is our "worst" case scenario. We can call it off getting great odds given our equity.
5) Let's say that SB has a pocket pair. It's unlikely that SB has KK or AA. So, we're in even a better situation that in #4 since both our A and our K would be good it hits. We gain three outs (the A or the K) and lose one (the heart that would complete V's boat). So, we still raise.
6) Let's say that SB has a draw. If we raise, there's a good chance that SB would call or shove for the same reasons that OP would consider either option. There are very, very, very few draws that would donk bet here and fold to a raise. It just doesn't fit the profile.
7) Finally, if OP calls and if the heart hits, we're going to have a brutally difficult time getting paid off by anything that we beat other than a smaller flush. By calling, we would win the minimum when we hit.
In sum, by raising, OP would fold out many hands that is ahead of him on the flop and not likely fold out all the hands behind him. And he has enough equity to call a check-shove without a problem.
Finally, if you're OP and you have AA, KK, AT, A7, a raise would be appropriate here, too, given the wet board.
@Austin: I would agree with you if you said that flat-calling AKh and the hands that I listed in the previous sentence was a +EV play. I would agree with you 100%. I just don't think that it is the optimal play; raising, IMO, is.
SB bets 5bb
Hero 82 bb effective raises to 17bb
SB all in 82bb
Hero 65bb more to call to win 106bb
getting less than 2 to 1 with just a flush draw against likely hand of Tx. Yes, he can have some 9h8h hands from the SB, but not much else in terms of combo draws that would jam. Majority of his hands will be 77 or Tx since we block most flush draws. If he does have Tx are A and K are not live, so we are left with 8 to 9 outs depending on his flush draw.
As Wikki mentioned above SB will have more Tx in his range than UTG range in general.
I will add that raising here does not balance our calling range. This topic keeps coming up a lot with balance. We either off set our raising range or off set our calling range.
