I don't see how "getting it all in 100% of the time" with AKo preflop is gonna make money long term. We're behind any pocket pair. If you like AI PF, then you should love my call in hand 2, right? And post-flop, why stack off with TPTK? I thought that was generally a bad idea.

Based on most of the responses, this isn't a good plan without much better reads.

Yea, I usually wait till the river to give him a chance to hit and disguise my hand. It's worked brilliantly a few times. I misplayed this.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm posting hand 2 in my Op. (click the sig banner)
