They are basically the same hand. You aren't getting paid off with your flush because you need Qxs to call your pre-flop bet and hit the flush. How often is that going to happen?

I think that the great draws AKs offers is whats costing me money. Preflop I play AKo and AKs the same according to standard 1a 4xBB + 1BB/limper. Postflop i bet ½-¾ pot with or without hit against one caller. Less frekvent semibluffs with two callers. If reraised I most often fold to rr unimproved. With AKs and flush draw I sometimes call sometimes rr a flop rr. I think I serioulsy need to discount the odds for my draw since I often will be up against sets or at least twopair. Hence the A and K "outs" are dubious and even the flus draw is questionable since a set will improve to full moore often then I will improve to flush. Even twopairs will improve 10% of the times.

A rr to cbet indicates strenght unless made by a notourious LAG bluffer.
