I guess I prefer a shove too preflop. You can win 3,5BBs without showdown, or have great equity when called.
Isolating is okay-ish but I prefer the above line, because if we miss, AKo plays pretty poorly.
What bothers me the most if the shove on the flop over his lead.
We have two overs and a gutshot. The gutshot should be live, but we have no idea if our overcards are. Also he was passive preflop and now he's showing interest in the pot, I doubt he's ever folding here.
He has a lot of Toppairs in his range maybe JT, TdXd, 9d8d, KQ maybe. Even if has just a Flushdraw, we are still barely ahead and is probably never folding that if he decided to lead the flop with it in the first place.
I know we need some semi-bluffs here. But AKo is just realy bad on this texture. We got way better hands to bluffshove with: KQ, Adxd, 9d8d (if we iso with that pre?). These hands have way more ways to improve if he does call - which I think he does quite often.
