Default $22: Abandoning AKo at 10/15 in early position

After checking Pokertracker recently I noticed that AKo was minimally profitable at this level. It seems like you either win a little when either the A or K hits or when it misses on the flop. Otherwise your continuation bet gets raised and you have to throw up the hand when you miss and are sometimes behind when the A or K does hit (screwball two pairs, sets, etc.). Out of position it is especially a problem as when you whiff and the late position player calls. A turn check will virtually always bring about a bet from the other player. Couple all this with minimal antes to win initially. Yes I'm rambling, but what others thoughts and experiences are about this idea.
