$10 (180) AK facing UTG raise

[rider_1]

Yah, turns out I probably played this the worst possible way, and got retard-donkey lucky to win this hand. I realize my mistake now, my reraise is too small to make any hands that open UTG to fold, any reraise at all will commit me to the hand. In hindsight, I should have pushed and at least had some FE, this way villian is put to the test, I am such a donk...

Just push preflop. Doing the go &amp; go sucks when you lose value from AQ or AJ. Also when the ace flops and you lose the pocket pairs.
