Re: $22: ITM with AKs and > 10BB
The preflop raise is too big, imo. I'd either pop it to 500 or just push preflop. Your raise puts you in a position where you basically have to call a flop push from your opponent. Fortunately here you have a flush draw to boot so it's a no-brainer.
Before you make any play, always consider what actions you'll want to take on later streets. Here if you're called, the pot will match your remaining stack...which isn't exactly the position you want to be in. If you make a smaller raise preflop, you can play the hand much more easily and profitably postflop.
