Default 50NL - I open push 100 bets with AK all day

I strongly believe that pushing AK preflop is a profitable play at these stakes for one solid reason. There are not enough thinking, adjusting opponents at this level. Because of this, the range of hands that call a preflop push for 100 bets is wider than most would have you believe.

Heres the breakdown as I see it:
90% of the time the push goes uncontested
10% of the time, I get a call:
-1% of that is AA/KK
-5% is pocket pairs
-4% is two faces (Ax,KQ,JK,..)

Anyone casually watching the table will take notice of when a full buy-in gets shoved into the middle. The natural reaction seems to be "What a donkey". This allows me to extract more postflop.

If my AK gets showed down there is another benefit. I feel like I can freely open push with AA and KK with the same calling range.

Take a minute to think about that. I'm look forward to any thoughts!
