Seems like alot of people here overvalue AK preflop and post flop. I will certainly lose alot on this board as well, but I wouldnt have played for my whole stack. Play for your whole stack when your the one with a set of dueces. With no reads, two pair is not worth losing your entire stack. Thats all I am saying. Bloating the pot up like this makes it impossible to get away from.

I personally would raise more like 4xBB preflop, then half the pot on the flop, then 3/4 on the turn if you put him on a draw. Then if he still calls and a blank comes, put in a good value bet on the river. If he comes over the top on the river he most likely has a slow played monster. AK should not be a losing hand, your doing something wrong obviously.

AK two pair on a non-straight, non-flush board is essentially a set. I'll go to felt with no other Broadway cards out there. I do not think hero overplayed this hand. If he had A2 or K2, then hero would have made a huge mistake.
