Is this too aggro?I mean,i played it this way because i really don't like playing AK oop cold calling a re-raise,i usually end up folding to the opponent aggression even if i flop something.

what are their stats?

cause you can either 4 bet or fold here depending on that

If you're gonna play AK like this, if you hit a pair you prettymuch have to try and get it all in unless its a really disgusting board. you've made the pot 50bb on the flop and the effective stack size has 80bb left, you've prettymuch made the pot big enough to get all the money in the middle with top pair. the J and the 9 aren't that great, but i guess it depends on the BTN's reraise capability, if he will rr with 99 or JJ, all other times you are now killing KK, QQ, AQ.
how they play is up to you to decide, but with a rainbow, semi-decent flop as such you've made the pot so big you have to try and get all his money with top pair. the only real worry is AJ, JJ, and AA but there's not much you can do about it at this point.

if he's that aggressive and you think he's a cbettor, c/r all in

I raise it a little more pf being OOP. I make it around $15 since you seem to be a little uncomfortble post flop.

wow great hand.

i'm more inclined to fold PF given the action ahead of us.

as played, turbo shove.
