AK preflop

[Cawley]

Examples of where i thought it was good to push this hand pre flop

1. STT when the blinds you will win without contest will be well worth picking up, at the bigger blinds where there isnt much play left anyway

2. When you have a good read on the other players calling range and its weak QJ KJ and so on and also you need to double up

3. In Mtts to "gamble" 15-20% of your stack vs shorter stacks all in moves or puttin the shorter stacks all in

The reason i made this post is i thought this was a good play in the long run but after this week i counted 20 times i had AK and ran into a weaker A mostly AT and AJ and i won 3 of 20 and it has really knocked my confidence.

I know we can say wait for a better spot when youve seen a flop but im still playin fairly low limit.

So do you guys think my play AK pre flop in each example is bad or am i just getting really unlucky here and should wait for a longer run of this situation for it to come in my favour thanks.
