Played my first session in three months today, felt a little rusty. BB is solid aggro regular I've logged a lot of hands with. He runs 22/16/3.3 and 3bets a lot. I have notes on him, but nothing that relevant. CO is a loose passive fish, I thought he would come along with a really wide range if I flat-called here. Thoughts on pre-flop and flop appreciated...

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Holdem Ring game - Blinds: $3/$6 - 5 players - Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $1375.35
CO: $275.55
Button: $722
SB: $687.25
BB: $1129.50

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with A K
Hero raises to $21, CO calls, 2 folds, BB raises to $93, Hero calls, CO folds.

Flop: K 4 J ($210, 2 players)
BB bets $144, Hero...

i understand why bluffing him off another AK is good, but im just not really getting why we want to play for stacks here, because theres a good chance he has the :As:, and if he does, it is likely accompanied by the :Qs:, any other K/A, or he could have a set, and he folds none of these.

hmmm... free-rolling ourselves?

I don't mind this though. It's definitely good the times he has KQs. I'm pretty sure he shows up with JJ/AsK pretty often though too, and not folding.

we cant fold against all the hands that stack us so we might as well gain more than we should against the hands that might fold or call with worse

I call flop and turn. I can fold the river to a push for many river cards a good percentage of the time and be pretty confident it was a correct fold. Most good villains will check most river cards with AK this deep.

edit: I understand the merits of pushing turn, its not all that bad just not my style of play.
