Pushing AK Preflop

[ajmargarine]

Beat the donkeys after the flop, not preflop.

I push AK alot, but it's always against those dreaded shortstacks that hang around with <30bb's and try to limp/minraise into every pot. I don't remember the last time I did it against a normal stack.

Given your little history that you gave us...it's still hard to say whether to push or not. If you thought you were good, and didn't mind taking a potential coinflip, then go for it. (I hate the term coinflip btw, you are behind all pp's except 22, which I think is an actual coinflip)

I don't like variance, so I probably fold this and if the situation would come up real similar again, then I might be more inclined to push.
