easy push

push is good, call is horrible.

This isn't a resteal, it's a value push.
Never call here.

Why did you post this hand? You pushed AK and it worked out quite well it seems. I'm not saying you should be results oriented, I just don't see why you even bothered re-evaluating this hand.

Because it might not have been the best play and OP wanted to make sure? You are being results-oriented with this post.

If you raise, there is a chance the raiser will fold, which would be great. You would increase your stack by almost half at no risk. You would love not being called. You only have the chance of not being called if you raise.

If you raise and get called, you're happy too, since you will be ahead of most hands.

If CO would raise in this position with a wide range of hands, you could re-raise with a FAR weaker hand than AKs.

The only hand I can think of where it might be worth calling, or maybe making a smaller raise than all in, is AA.

It's worthwhile trying to understand why calling with AKs would be so bad here.

Any time you were unsure of an action or are having second thoughts later it's good to post the hand.
