2-5 NL: 9 handed utg= loose agresssive $2000 . im MP $225, CO tight agro $500, button loose passive $90(donk)
the utg limps, i limp with AKo, the cuttoff makes it 35 to go. button calls 35 utg calls 35 and i decide to move in with $220.
the utg could have anything and button calls with anthing. i figured that there was enough money in the pot (105$) to make my move in profitable. the CO called w/ QQ and the button called with his last $50. the utg folded.
the QQ held up and thats the end of the story... the ? is ...could i have done anything better besides raising with the AK preflop?
the sklansky chubukov rankings in "NLH theory and practice" says that a move in with AK is profitable with 150BBor less. so this move is profitable if i had a stack of $750 or less...anything wrong with my thought process?
What the ****...? I don't get what you want people to tell you.

it would be nice to get some math to back up these opinions. i feel my move is right but as u can see there are people that disagree...its jsut a discussion
You should usually raise AKo in this situation at least 75% of the time, but I don't hate limping AKo here occasionally as long as you balance your limps with a lot of raises.
As far as the shove goes, I like the shove even though you are still a slight dog to QQ here. There is dead money in the pot, and you have a strong enough hand against his CO raising range.
If you like to limp-reraise AA/KK sometimes, then I like this AKo shove for metagame reasons as well.
