    Default AKs loser for me

    Hi, I've played just over 67k hands and I'm making a good profit with a win rate of 7.6bb/100 hands. However, I have noticed that my AKs are losing overall and AK is only just making money. Some people say AQ and AJ can be problem hands, but I'm making a lot with those hands so I would like you to help me with my AKs.

    Heere are a few hand histories of big losses:
    Hand 1

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($33.30)
    BB ($96.53)
    UTG ($8.13)
    UTG+1 ($52.20)
    UTG+2 ($20.25)
    MP1 ($67.05)
    Hero ($49.50)
    MP3 ($29.52)
    CO ($17.90)
    Button ($54.55)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K, A. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP1 raises to $2, Hero calls $2, 5 folds, UTG+1 calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($6.75) 6, A, 4 (3 players)
    UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets $1, Hero raises to $3, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $2.

    Turn: ($12.75) K (2 players)
    MP1 bets $3, Hero raises to $8, MP1 raises to $16, Hero calls $36.50 (All-In), MP1 calls $28.50.

    River: ($101.75) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $101.75

    Villain was 29/14 so I think the big mistake here was probably not re-raising pre-flop.

    Hand 2

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 ($23.15)
    MP2 ($19.10)
    MP3 ($43.65)
    CO ($25.15)
    Button ($33.96)
    SB ($16.85)
    BB ($18.65)
    UTG ($11.20)
    Hero ($18.75)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, A. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
    UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, 7 folds, UTG calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($2.35) 2, T, 2 (2 players)
    UTG bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25.

    Turn: ($2.85) 7 (2 players)
    UTG bets $2, Hero calls $2.

    River: ($6.85) K (2 players)
    UTG bets $5.51, Hero raises to $11.02, UTG calls $2.44 (All-In).

    Final Pot: $25.82

    Villain 40/7, but that's only after 30 hands. I think I should have re-raised on the flop to make him throw those 7s away and show more strength.

    This isn't from Party and so doesn't work in the converter.

    Villain was 44/14. Not to sure if I could have gotten away from this one, what do you think?

    Hand 4
    This one also doesn't work in the converter.

    Villain 31/4. Should I have just called or folded? Obviously the re-raise wan't too clever.

    They are the four biggest losers so if you could have a look at them and give me your opinions I would be very grateful. I've added my little view at the bottom of each hand so you can correct me if necesary.

    Thanks

    I think if you start making a reraise preflop with AK mandatory, it will cease to be a loser.
