This field sounds super weak, where did you play?
I think this is perfect feedback by LifeNitFL. First spot seems like KJs+ AT+ 55+ (maybe just open QQ+) second one I hear you, they may just all fold a fair amount of time and the AK feels "wasted" but you still increase your stack by over 20% which is paramount at this point, and just like LifeNit said, if we open/get called and the flop comes 7 hi, we're in a tricky spot. Don't overthink it, if you can increase ur stack by 20%+ in spots like this, just jam and take the easy money.
