    It's OK to do with 10-12 outs and some fold equity, because then you can often call if he shoves over, but I think you have to pick your spots, boards, raise size and opponents more carefully to throw a raise with naked FD's or OESD. If they are likely to reraise or not to fold to a second barrel I wouldn't do it for example.

    I would suggest you (re?)read the section of "Kill everyone" on the flop minraise, very insightful. I know you like tournaments. In general it's a good book about playing the lagg style in tourneys.

    Also, don't just filter your DB for AK, filter for "hand value on flop=TPTK,TPGK or overpair", flop bet=true, flop was raised=true, saw showdown=true"
    I did mine and I won (best hand on the flop) about half of the time, but this includes my 2NL hands. At 5NL, (sample not significant enough) I only won against very short stacks and lost twice (against a set and a flopped straight).
