Dis,

As part of shoving AK PF im also doing it fairly often with AA-QQ, to balance the strategy. You do make a point but your equity if dominated pf is >> than equity if dominated post flop.

If villain is calling with AA-QQ, AKs himself to the shove (and people do call less, this is just an example), your equity is much greater against that range at this time than on a Kxx board, which you should be stacking off on with AK in a 3 bet pot.

Definitely a good point about shoving AK so that people won't put you only on QQ+ or KK+. But, against QQ+ and AKs, your equity is actually better on a Kxx flop than preflop, where xx are rags. On this particular flop, your equity is terrible against QQ+,AKs -- but of course his range is considerably wider than that here.

Back to a general Kxx board, though, compared to equity preflop vs. a tight range:

And, just for grins, here's the result I came up with on this particular flop vs. a 3-betting range that may even be too narrow (he's 3-bet hero twice in 66 hands, but then again he is making the continuation bet)....
