[Closed] push on flop!

I normally don't do this. I decided to try this today. The thing is. Players very often think that i'm bluffing and call with 2nd pair and are willing to unmask me. They just have to see my cards!
I know that AK on flop with A high could seem a bad push but i knew my opp had a pair or a weak ace.
These are just some of the examples. BTW, i ended that 16 table 6$ set on fulltilt with +60$, or +10bi.
There was one hand were i knew for 100% that my opponent has a weaker Ace than me, because he reraised all his strong hands before and bet strong. Now i raise 4bb from mp with AK, and he calls in mp. on flop Axx i push allin, he calls with AQo. People seem to be willing to put all their chips in with one pair only.
3rd example.. wtf was that? he must have put me on pair. He called with gutshot. That's what i'm talking about. It confuses these little fishes.
I'd appreciate some explanation from a more experienced players than me. I don't normally play like this, but today it worked 100% except one were my opponent folded when i had KK. And i know that i could run into two pair or a set, but that's why i bet 4bbs.

i think in the long run you are losing a lot of value by pushing flops when you have TPTK or an overpair.

yes it can look bluffy but you want to give them a bit of rope to hang themselves if they have bottom pair or some weak gutshot or something. betting 2/3 standard cbet size is better in the long run imo.

usually if they are willing to call a flop shove with 2nd pair or worse they will either 3bet shove your flop cbet or call and stack off on the turn.

3 hands isnt a big sample size to say that this works often enough to make it good. i think you will just fold out a lot of hands that would have called a standard cbet. you also dont give yourself a chance to get away from a scary turn/river if they happened to flop 2 pair / set.
