why are you raising 5x the BB?

why are you raising 5x the BB?

my thought is that i would rather just take down the blinds without a fight. Should i be looking to trap?

with the AQ i don't like to play this hand OOP, with the other AK I just wanted to take it down rather then get into a huge battle.

5X bb seemed to be a good amount.

The last hand I have real questions about. With both of us being the two chip leaders do I not push my AK since I will have position on him? Or is this a pretty standard push as played?

Then why not just push?

The last hand is standard.
