For me, AK is a very difficult hand to play. I have always have been put in a situtiation where I have to go all - in with AK. I usually make my decisions from the read I make from the players. I usually end up folding, because I dont want to miss. Here is one of the situation i had to face yesterday.

Another thing, i know i am suppose to play AK very aggresive. I usually do preflop, but what do i do when i miss? Do I still play aggressive and try to get the pot. Or should i fold vs a big bet, and keep my fingers crossed and call a small bet? Please, any opinions at all on how to play AK perfectly, would be greatly appreciated.
