I can think of many scenarios where it's profitable to push AK preflop, but what about this scenario?
Blinds 15/30 -- no reads yet
UTG+1(850) raises to 121
UTG+2(448) goes all in
folded to Hero(755) on button with AKs
SB (721)
BB (966)
I was ready to push against the first raise, but with the short stack allin I am much more hesitant to make the move. Sure it's great if I have both dominated, but I think it's much less likely here against a raise and a reraise allin. Folding seemed weak and calling 60% of my stack with the blinds and the first raiser left to act seemed worse. So I pushed.
Your thoughts?
