In my opinion i am a decent player with decent knowledge of the game however i have 1 problem. Once im in position for example i bet 3xBB or 4xBB AKs and another player calls and i miss the flop. 70% of the time when this happens, i make a big continuation bet and the opponent calls i bet even higher as i feel like im pot commited i end up wasting half of my stack or even end up shoving.

Reason why i do this is because lets say im playing NL10 and have a stack of $10 and i win a couple of pots playing tight-agressive and get lets say $12 I often raise pre-flop with any pair or AJs or higher or AQo or higher and get raised, i feel like the 2$ i have earned through the time playing will now be wasted as i was re-raised so i end up 4 betting/calling and then betting on the flop,turn and river.

Any way i could improve this?

I just dont want to be super tight and agressive that once i get a good hand and when i raise and miss the flop, i will then be forced to fold.

I don't understand the question. So you get 3b when you have AJs and you are wondering what do do?

Or you 3bet with a hand and they 4b. Bit of an unclear question

preflop i would have folded after a 4bet but post flop lets say i have a hand of AJs and flop comes something like 724 of different suits, i cbet oponent raises i 3bet and then get 4bet (assuming i know that the oponent is a donk as he raises with any 2 hands) what should i do in this case? 80% of the time he will have nothing but there is a chance that he has a pair/2pairs or set etc.

If he truly does it with ATC (which I doubt but according to you they do) get it in with A high and print money.

Why are your 3betting the flop just fold to the raise. Why is he 4betting with air 100% of the time? None of this thread makes sense. Even the title has nothing to do with the actual thread.

Maybe he thought like me that the term limping is used at the start of every betting not just for pre-flop.

I don't really get a lot of things in this thread, but I'm thinking the point is you need to adjust in order to exploit bad play. If your crazy opponents are truly getting it in with air then you should be happy (to be honest I doubt that this is the case and even if it is you shouldn't put yourself in these spots anyway.) but if you don't like getting into these situations then why are you inflating the pot without a made hand? To be honest I really don't see why you are raising this sort of board, If you really feel villain is making this sort of play with air then consider floating them some of the time. consider trying to keep the size of the pot under control so that you are able to hero call/float also take into account that c betting boards isn't forced, you can check/ check call sometimes depending on villians tendancies and board texture

I.e. a min bet..?

Limping is calling the BB in an unopened pot.

OP, why are you 3-betting a missed pot with AKs? Unless the bet sizing is ridiculously small, or without history/reads on Villain, this profitable.

re-raised the pot basically is the same as single-raised pot. Play as if you are playing single-raised pot. Don't be crazy just because the pot is large. You really don't need to win every single pot to be profitable. If you have edge in a normal pot, you still have it in a re-raised pot

I ALWAYS limp with AK even if I am short stacked in a tourney and blinds are huge. I play it like a small pair either it hits on the flop or I am out. I have seen AK lose so many times on the flop much less the turn. I would raise 76 suited before AK. Then if I hit on the flop I can lay slow play it and then push it up.

Guess I have just been burned to many times with that hand. It is a good hand IF it hits something otherwise it just soon be 27 off.

Yea, i don't get exactly what he is stating in the thread either, but you start out saying "once i'm in position", which, according to the post, should put you on the cut-off, or on the button. Either way, raising with a-k suited or not and getting re-raised, and if you just call the re-raise and take a flop and miss completely, there is no use in calling a big bet or raising a bet. Your not being clear about what villian is doing post flop, as posted, i am assuming he must have checked the flop, as you are in "position", and last to act. All that being said, If you make a continuation bet and villian calls,or raises you, get the hell out and play another hand. Heck, my answer may be as garbled as the post, sorry if it is, i gave it a shot.
