More or less risk? More or less value? (slow AK)

[Big Limpin']

Im not entirely sure if this was clever or stupid. It worked this time, sure, but what of long term?

Level 1, hero UTG, AKo

Hero open limps ( i do this alot, i like losing t15 only on AK airballs, also allowing dominateed As and Ks to play), and several calls behind, so the blinds see hand

Flop 3 rags, rainbow, but semi textured, i think 3-5-7 or something. Hero checks (plan check/fold), but checked around

Turn K. Hero checks..there doesnt appear to be any obvious draws, but i guess 5 outs for the blinds if they have 1 pair, so still some risk...but i should get action from weaker kings? there were several limps behind me p/f. Someone downstream of me bets a resonable amount, folds to me, smooth call.

River is brick, pairs baord, not a card that LP could have. Hero open checks, villain bets again, hero calls. Reasonably sure MHIG.


VIllain tables KQ. of course, this is perfect situation, and it wont always be this way. Also, his kick is prolly good enough that he calls me down if i lead both streets. But...

Will this approach ever be higher value than the standard line? Im thinking something of a reverse gap here. Weaker hands bet money that they wouldnt call with.

Like/hate? im not sure which side i fall on yet, but looking for input.
