First of all, we all know that AK is not a made hand, in most cases, even hitting the flop might not be enough. Considering that you were close to bubble time, I personally would've called his raise and reevaluate after the flop. You also didn't say anything about your opponent tendencies. An all in preflop could've been a better move if he was an aggressive frequent raiser. And indeed he wouldn't have called with 89 off. But these are only thoughts I came up with reading your post, I can't count the mistakes I've made myself in similar situations. Playing poker is a life time learning process, I hope we can improve our game at CC by continuing to share hands and ideas. Good luck all.
