I would raise to 75 preflop and play it the same way on the flop most likely.

No point in bluffing with A high this early.

I think there is a pretty decent chance I am a slight favorite here. Notice I also flopped a flush draw.

[The Don]

Yep, just realized that and edited... sorry.

[pokerlaw]

I bet out the flop, t125 seems right. though, nothing wrong w/ this line IMO.

[Isura]

I don't get it. I'd just lead the flop for a normal bet or push.

[PCFordham]

Don't listen to all these guys OP, pushign is never an option even o a draw with AK, you have nothing, check and fold, it's the first level you'll be fine

[curtains]

It's a very reasonable way to play it.

[durron597]

I like your play a lot. You raised allin with what is almost certainly the best hand with a lot of fold equity.

[bluefeet]

pc,

understandable if you are personally reluctant to check/push....but check/fold? at a minimum, check/callling t80 given almost 5-1must be an option for you.

This is horrible horrible advice.

I think your line is fine. You're a favorite over something like QJ, which is a likely holding in the 20+2s.

[jeffraider]

I like it! Ni han.

I love the check push here. You got what you wanted, a bet and a caller, might as well make the push. Huge fold equity makes this a very + play, especially since you're likely the favorite even if called at 22's.

Failure to make early plays like this is a major weakness in my game.
