Your right about every game being different. It will depend on how the table is. A few questions you need to ask your self are: Is the table tight or loose? Are there calling station that will can not be bet out of the pot? etc.etc.... This will help determine the right course of action.

The problem with limping pre-flop with AK is you let players with rags like small suited connectors and even small pokert pairs enter the pot. Then when you spike your K or A, they spike a set or 2 pair and your hand becomes dog meat. You need to raise pre-flop to protect your hand from those players.

AK has let me down loads of time in tourneys and is nearly always the hand that takes me out of them.I much prefer to see the flop first and if i hit an A or K then move allin the latter moves seems to pay off more.

With A-K in my hand I'll always be the pre-flop raiser, I'm a maniac with A-K....lol

Until sherm puts out another newsletter, I play A-K the same in any position, whether suited or not and havn't been disappointed in the overall results thus far.
I bet/fold on a ragged flop.

How would you handle AK in early stages of a tournament?
If you raise to narrow field, and then take a shot at a ragged flop, then youve probably committed 1/3 of your chips right there, against opponents who often will have qq or jj and wont fold a ragged flop.

Raised pre-flop today, got one call.
Flopped a king and 2 rags. Bet strong, got raised. He went all-in, i put him on a pair of kings, i call. he had king 8. And hit his 8 on the river
But i do enjoy having an accurate read as much as i enjoy winning

I just finished reading Super System, and Brunson likes AK more than AA or KK, just because, if you don't hit, bet and someone comes over the top, it's easier to get away from AK than it is to fold AA or KK.
Now, if I could just get that last part into my head, I might not have lost to a trey of tens today.

ery true
but if someone raises u all in pre flop and u have Big Slick should u call no matter what.
Everytime i watch the pros and someone goes all in pre flop they always call.

Hello Admb0m:
I would fire again in that situation as another sign of strength, as one of our fellow chatter's say's it's not what you have it's what your opponent think you have . Also I cut & pasted this from Roy for his advice here>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BETTING is the KEY to getting a read on your opponents...
It is through BETTING that you find out the strength or
weakness of another player's hand, which is how you WIN in
Texas Holdem...
BETTING is how you get inside your the heads of your
opponents. Especially the ones you've never met or played
against before.

Hey Calvin,
Big Slick has the reputation for being a MONSTER hand...
a hand that most players LOVE to get dealt.
And with good reason.
After all, it's got a TON of potential.
Think about it:
If you have Big Slick and a King or Ace hit the board,
you've automatically got top pair. And not only that, but
you've also automatically got the highest kicker possible.
And...
Big Slick is connected, which means it has the POTENTIAL to
become the highest STRAIGHT on the board.
Then again, if you're an experienced poker player, then you
KNOW that Big Slick is often HIGHLY OVERRATED by most
amateurs and beginners.
Because if you REALLY think about it, Big Slick by itself is
NOT a good hand.
By itself, it's an Ace high with a King.
Period.
It can be beat by just about ANYTHING... from a flush to a
3-of-a-kind to a pair of deuces.
What Big Slick has is the POTEN... | | Read Entire Entry |
