Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
Even in a $22, I don't see too many players having a large enough edge against a shortstacked raiser to make this a fold. I don't like a stop/go either esp with the UTG player still in the hand.
This looks like a push to me. If the Raiser had me covered, I might fold this in a $22.

Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
pushing is correct
stop n go is correct folding is weak, but in some situations (not yours) correct. calling and check/folding to a bet when you don't hit is wrong (unless you are playing against me, in which case it is encouraged. Well, it's still wrong, but it is highly encouraged). The stop-n-go increases your folding equity but decreases the amount you'll win when your AK is the best hand. Going all-in decreases your folding equity, but increases how much you will win if your hand is best at the end. The act of calling puts so much money into the pot that you must go all in as you are at worst 45 to 55 against all but AA/KK. The pot is offering you way better odds than 45 to 55 once you call. Thus, if you call, you must push on any flop. If you will act after the raiser after the flop, you must go all in preflop or fold. You cannot call because by calling you are making a horrendous mathematical mistake.
