With regards to my hand on here, the reason I didn't re-raise preflop is.... Im out of position, and therefor im at a disadvantage to the other players, so why would I want to increase the pot so much and commit alot of chips when sat in the worse position on the table. Iv spoken about this tactic to James before when I did the same thing with AQ OOP. If I hit my A like I did, then I can start being agressive, and im sure if that next card was not a diamond, i would of check raised slam59 all in there.

I know this is against the norm, but this is how I prefer to play it and it works well for me. Thats the beauty of poker, everything can be played differently.

Position is irrelevant, because, when I talk about re-raising in that spot, I mean three-bet jamming!

There's so much in the middle, after that over-raise and call, that it's worth shoving.  IMO, that's the way to play AK in this specific situation against two unknown hands.

Knowing the cards, the A7 folds (unless he's a COMPLETE donk) and you MIGHT get called by the TT.  And, if you do, you're off to the races...

 I agree with your thinking if this is later on in the tournament. But I think the blinds were 20/40? or 30/60? something like that, and there as actually only 500 in the pot. Do I want to risk 4k chips to win 500 when im only getting called by AA,KK AK or a lower pair, so at best a 50/50 (unless the guy is a donk and calls with AQ or less). Im mainly a deepstack player as you know and dont want to comit all my chips for a small pot. Its an interesting hand and im not saying im right and your wrong as it can be played different ways, and I like to air on the side of caution as im a tight so and so with my chips/money :-)

I hear you - and understand your thinking.

Two things (and then I'll move on)...

500 is not a small pot when the blinds are 20/40.  If you take it down pre-flop, you add 12% to your stack!

AK is, ultimately, a drawing hand, so plays much better as a raising hand - especially when OOP.
