I understand from a preference point you may like playing AK over AA. This however is something that math doesn't support. I notice quite often that players dislike AA because they haven't learn to obtain the skills to lay this had down. When in early stages of poker players have an understanding of the advantage of rockets but don't understand that I comes with slight vulnerabilities. Against the all other combinations its 84.8% favorite to win the hand before the flop. It's on average going to lose 15 out of 100 hands. You have to learn to lay this hand down when board textures run out as poorly as possible.

Let's look at AKs and AKo. AKs gives you a 66.8% against the field and  AKo a 65.4%. Now just that 1.4% increase causes many players including pro to raise more aggressively when they have AKs. Now lets take that against AA and we get a whopping 18% difference between AA and AKs and 19.4% against AKo. You're logic is a mental aspect of the game you must overcome to be successful.
