I don't care the results and you should not look at the rare situation when the super fish calls a raise preflop with a trash hand like 54. First, we don't know the effective stacks at the beginning of the hand.
Now, AK is a great hand—even when it’s not suited but suited is even better. I put AK right after the KK. I like playing AK more than QQ. More flexible and more deadly animal. Easy to play. It’s the tremendous big-card strength that gives this unique hand its value.
At the flop you got TPTK and it was there a possible flush and a straight draw. You should have bet a pot size or 1.5x pot bet to make sure villain gets overpriced at a ratio of 1.5:1 or more. He is 3x dog (he makes it 1 in 4 trials) but he's getting less than even money. After that don't even look at the results.
Always remember this:
When you flop an Ace and make TPTK like in this hand and the flop contains that Ace and a small card from 2-5 or a big card from T-K or both (a small one and a big one) you will always have at least one possible straight draw or two like in this case. Bet big to charge the fish for playing drawing hands in a raised pot.
If you do this all the time from now on you will be way way ahead.
