AKs Push - Was This a Bad Play?

[av8or2]

Early in a MTT at Pacific Poker, I get AKs on the BB.
The guy two to my left raises to T40, everyone folds except me. I raise to T150. He makes it T175 to go, I push.

Based on his previous play I suspect Ace Rag.

He shows me A6s, only one problem, the board completes his flush and I'm done.

Comments?

You've answered your own question.

The key is this is too early in the tourny to be commiting all your chips preflop on the come.

Don't get me wrong, AKs is a very strong drawing hand, and you were right to come back at him with a feeler.

If he has any pair, your off to the races on a coin toss. Is it worth it to risk all your chips this early?

No.

I would have called the reraise, and waited until I saw a flop before commiting all my chips.

Just my thoughts,
