Do you guys like this play, or do you think I was pushing too hard, too early... It's reasonably early in a MTT, and I'm not really used to playing these... I just had a feeling he was chasing, and wanted to slam him hard... A little LAGGY for me... but...

If you hadn't limp-reraised preflop, then there's no way that you're pulling this play off.

Another factor to consider here is your opponent. Here's a guy who called a 3xBB raise cold, and then called your big limp-reraise. Wow. He's just screaming loose passive with that kind of play. the board looks junky enough on the flop that I think your play is OK. My only concern is with the all-in move, given that your opponent has proven to be suprisingly loose. Lets face it, you're not gonna get him to fold a set or an overpair in all likelyhood, or probably even top pair. He will fold the other 6 possible pocket pairs, or an unimproved AQ AK AJ KQ KJ QJ, or any Ax lower than AT. Thats alot of folds he'll have to make, and he would've called the flop bet with two overcards. I put him on two overcards here, so I think your bet makes sense. I probably would never find myself in that situation due to generally not limp-raising with AK, but nothing you did seems wrong to me. Nicely done.
