Need some help with AKo

[outofstep]

AKo seems to be my most costly hand in PT. Based on 4,533 I've had AKo 49 times and my Net is -$44,-.86/hd with a 22.45% win rate. What kind of leaks should I be looking for? I think one leak is calling on the flop too much with just overcards. A couple of my big losers ran into AA. What is the proper play if you raise and are reraised? Thanks for the help guys.

Here are a few that puzzle me:

Hero??

Hand 1: You're at best splitting with another Ace. Sucks to fold this river, but it's probably right.

Hand 2: I would probably raise the out of confusion, although all you have are your overcards and you may be drawing dead. That is simply a tough situation.

Hand 3: I think you should call the flop three bet getting 14:1.

Hand 4: Cap preflop, probably makes the flop easier.

How I would play each hand:

1st hand: Technically looks fine I believe, but I would most likely check/call the river.

2nd hand: I would raise the flop, call a 3-bet and fold the turn unimproved. You don't have much of a draw here but UTG could be holding AJ or similar depending on your read of him. The pot is big enough to raise and see where you are in my opinion. Hmm, on second thought I may not fold this at all and call the turn bet. That is a huge pot.

3rd hand: I'd call that 3-bet on the flop and fold turn unimproved. You have two overcards and a backdoor flush draw.

4th hand: Again, two overcards and a backdoor flush draw. I would raise the flop, call a 3-bet and fold turn unimproved.
