Should I have just pushed preflop?

Push the flop?

I'm awful at poker.

I don't like pushing here with nearly 14BB, I don't like raising to 400 because you're stuck with a huge pot that means dumping 2/3 of your stack in if you want to make a continuation bet whenever you miss....

I think if no one had gone in I'd raise to 300, but with the limper there's probably enough value to be worth taking down the 250 chips from a push PF. I guess the fact is you just don't have enough wiggle room to play this postflop when you miss forces you to push it. I hate hands like these.

I think I push preflop. And I'm contuination betting here, all-in.

This hand is pretty tricky. I check the flop; I'm not sure why. Mostly in fear, I think. I guess my point is, you don't necessarily suck if you don't know what to do here, cause I sure as hell don't.

I'm not a fan of pushing preflop because you have position on the limper. On the flop, I hate this spot because I feel like my opponents always stare into my soul and *know* I have AK when I lead out allin here.

What's the buyin?

Ill attempt a stab at this.....
I think with one limper and your position a raise isnt that bad since you were hoping to isloate him, and you got unlucky the button called. A raise of 300 would have sent the same message out, but that also depends on the buy in. Depending on the player i would through out a continuation bet of about 25%-30%. Cant win AK every time.
