Hi, I've played just over 67k hands and I'm making a good profit with a win rate of 7.6bb/100 hands. However, I have noticed that my AKs are losing overall and AK is only just making money. Some people say AQ and AJ can be problem hands, but I'm making a lot with those hands so I would like you to help me with my AKs.

Heere are a few hand histories of big losses:
Hand 1

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($33.30)
BB ($96.53)
UTG ($8.13)
UTG+1 ($52.20)
UTG+2 ($20.25)
MP1 ($67.05)
Hero ($49.50)
MP3 ($29.52)
CO ($17.90)
Button ($54.55)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K, A. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP1 raises to $2, Hero calls $2, 5 folds, UTG+1 calls $1.50.

Flop: ($6.75) 6, A, 4 (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets $1, Hero raises to $3, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $2.

Turn: ($12.75) K (2 players)
MP1 bets $3, Hero raises to $8, MP1 raises to $16, Hero calls $36.50 (All-In), MP1 calls $28.50.

River: ($101.75) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $101.75

Villain was 29/14 so I think the big mistake here was probably not re-raising pre-flop.

Hand 2

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP1 ($23.15)
MP2 ($19.10)
MP3 ($43.65)
CO ($25.15)
Button ($33.96)
SB ($16.85)
BB ($18.65)
UTG ($11.20)
Hero ($18.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, A. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, 7 folds, UTG calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.35) 2, T, 2 (2 players)
UTG bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25.

Turn: ($2.85) 7 (2 players)
UTG bets $2, Hero calls $2.

River: ($6.85) K (2 players)
UTG bets $5.51, Hero raises to $11.02, UTG calls $2.44 (All-In).

Final Pot: $25.82

Villain 40/7, but that's only after 30 hands. I think I should have re-raised on the flop to make him throw those 7s away and show more strength.

This isn't from Party and so doesn't work in the converter.

Villain was 44/14. Not to sure if I could have gotten away from this one, what do you think?

Hand 4
This one also doesn't work in the converter.

Villain 31/4. Should I have just called or folded? Obviously the re-raise wan't too clever.

They are the four biggest losers so if you could have a look at them and give me your opinions I would be very grateful. I've added my little view at the bottom of each hand so you can correct me if necesary.

Thanks

Renton will become famous soon enough
 I think if you start making a reraise preflop with AK mandatory, it will cease to be a loser.
