Your thought proces is inconsistent here. Disguising the strength of your hand and getting max value are completely opposit goals, and you can not follow them both at the same time. By just limping behind you certainly disguise the strength of your hand, but you dont get any value at all. And this is why, its not a good strategy.

So you actually got it in good, and in that sense your slowplay preflop worked. But would AKs have folded to a raise preflop? Of course not. So you would have gotten it in against him anyway. And maybe even against K5 offsuit, since that player was bad enough to massively overplay his hand, when he flopped top pair no kicker.

You are likely worried about this hand, because you lost it, but the result does not matter. The real problem here is FPS (Fancy Play Syndrom). When you have a strong hand, just bet it for value instead of overthinking the situation. There are times to slowplay, but they are so rare, that even if you never do it, its not going to be a problem. And especially not against players, who are as bad as these freeroll opponents.
