    Maybe raise less pre but it really doesnt matter your not gonna dump to a shove anyway. Just unlucky IMO.

    I think your raise was good and you re getting 1.8 on the call so you only need to win 36% of the time. I haven't got a range calc in front of me but I m pretty sure AK stacks up against any standard range he might be holding.

    Raise more pre...shove, maximize whatever FE you might have and eliminate the FE of guy with TT. He might still call, with TT in that spot, one all in ahead and more left to act, but he might not.

    AK I'm always happy to win the pot without seeing action.

    Yep, agree with this too. This is the value of AK, holds up relatively well if an all-in is called but most of the time you don't even see a flop if you are shoving. Calling is an entirely different matter though...
