Re: AK post flop
1) Reads (remember those?) would be nice. Is this guy doing this with anything other than AA or KK?
2) Pre-flop has to be push or fold. Calling is simply not an option in my mind.
IMO, your initial raise wasn't large enough anyway, after 3 limpers in level two. I would have either:
a) raised to t200 straight away, or
b) open pushed pre-flop. Sounds crazy initially, but you'd be adding 18% to your stack at minimal risk.
(Now when I say "minimal" risk, I mean it's not really any more risky than your line in that you're losing your shirt to KK or AA anyway. So you might bust, but the times you're not against AA or KK, you have given yourself significant FE and you've guaranteed that you will see all 5 cards.) Surely, open pushing pre-flop is better than weakly raising and then being lost on the flop when you whiff.
