Getting Cute With AK (NLHE)

[ML4L]

Hey all,

$20 tournament on Paradise. Second round of blinds (10-20), 9 players left. Unremarkable game so far. I have around 1100 when I pick up A /images/graemlins/club.gifK /images/graemlins/heart.gif in MP and limp. Folded to button (leader with 1700) who raises the minimum. SB folds, BB calls, I call. Flop comes:

A /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

BB bets 20, I call, button raises to 100, BB calls, I now re-raise to 320. Button thinks and calls, BB folds. Turn is 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif. I bet all-in for around 700.

Comments?

I would rather get cute with a big pair or big suited cards. I open-raise with AKo in most scenarios I can think of. On the flop if you are sure the button will bet then you played it fine.
