    Sadly I dont have the hand history. I also dont advocate playing ak the way I did in this spot and almost NEVER do. A little history, I was definatley the most aggressive player at the table. It was one of the 10 daily doubles on FTP. 1K starting filed down to about 300. I was top 10 stack with 18k and lost a flip with 99 vs aj all in pre for 11k and am down to 7k. I have raised 3 hands in a row with no caller. I get deal AKo utg, blinds are 240 with 25 ante. I decide to limp, 3 limpers behind me, sb completes, and bb makes it 1660. I have 6850, 2645 in the pot, he has me covered by about 1k. What do you do here, I honestly limped intending to 3 bet shove any raise but when he raised I was felt strong he had 1010-qq and was not folding due to my image and well it is a 10 dollar donkament. Knowing (even though i didnt KNOW) thats his range whats the best long term play here.

    Sorry my post has no hand history i hate reading these kinds of post lol.

    Shove and it's not even close unless you're up against Super Alewicous Nit Jones with a range of like JJ+ and AK.

    PS.

    I predict that you ran into KK. Just a wild guess.

    If you have raised 3 hands in a row and had lost a huge flip before that why not raise this also? People will 1) think that you're on tilt and 2) Not give you credit for a hand due to the 3 raises in a row prior to this.

    I don't fault you for playing it the way you did but I raise pre again here. Also you had a plan going in so stick to it. As played Shooooooooooooooooooooove.

    I dont think I have ever open limped AK, and this certainly isn't a place I would start.

    Raise pre, call BBs shove

    as played shove

    as played, his range is very strong as you said given him being out of position and stuff. for example AJ, AT etc just check there I think (although it is a 10 donkament). Plus as you mentioned you have very little fold equity which is probably the best thing you can use with AK. It's very iffy but I guess you shove here. Just raise pre and you won't get into tricky situations like this.
