Recently I thoughts about these spots when I have AJ-K and raise from blinds on those stack sizes -15BB with a fish and saw that when I OOP and don't hit the flop then I often lost chips. Sometimes I just check from BB and play with pot control but with this hand we wanna go for stacks as quick as possible I think, and this guy sometimes push pre worst hands. But in most hands he will just call pre, rarely will fold. If I will give smaller like 450 he will call almost always.
Flop is not fantastic for me, but I think his call very often is just a draw to anything, of course he can have a Tx or A7, but most of his range is a draws. I planned that on turn I will push on A,K and on blank, because I think that he often folds his draws, and of course A/K just for value. What do you think about all these thoughts? What's the best line of pre-flop and post-flop actions (passive/aggresive line).

Shoving would be ok preflop to prevent these postflop situations versus villain that mostly just calls. It can be less profitable than raising smaller in long term. With 15bb its quite borderline stack depth. Like 13bb deep I would always shove (with big pockets it could still be best to raise small) and closer to 20bb deep always raising to 600 or so.

Flop is decent to cbet and half pot is maximum size I would use. Bit smaller is fine too. In turn just giving up. This card is not a blank as it somehow helps all straight draw combinations. If we had spade flush draw then shove would be ok.

I agree with ghaleon like usual. However, I think shoving with 15bb is preferable to me. 13bb is no brainer, but so is 15 tbh. You have so much dead money in the pot already that raising to 525 will do you no good. If villain has 67s-you give him the perfect odds to flat and crush you postflop. Just put in the equilab how much equity 67s has against your offsuited AK.

And then number 2 options pops out-to raise preflop. You can't raise 525, cuz you give him insane odds. There is about about 600 dead money in the pot. Even if you raise 1200, you still give him right odds. Just shove preflop 100% and get to print money when he makes those QJo, KTo type of limp/calls.

Thx guys. Yeah I know that shove is always good here, I'm wondering about other lines that will maybe more +EV. Now I will just shove here, without combining;)
