i prefer 78 than AK...it's more constructive

[topeagle]

i agree with you. i see many times peoples goes all in with AK

well if you figure that 4/10 times it hits you are generally winning those hands. Lets say you win those hands 3/10 times. So 30% winning chance when A or K comes out. Now you have to factor in that you will usually be able to get people off other hands because of AK betting, maybe that happens 1/10 times. This gets fractioned down to about 1/20 or 5%. Also can add in % if suited i suppose, lets say 5% if suited. So with my calculations you should be winning 40% of the hands you have AK. Now that seems like an extremely low number, yes. But perhaps you are overplaying them.

lol you said it all right there.

essentially pockets 2s in this situation are anything from pocket 2's to q's

ak is an awesome hand u should play all in everytime

This quote right here is proof that people overplay AK all the time. People play AK like it should never lose, and they're so afraid that they're gonna get beat by something they have deemed a weaker hand that they'll push all in preflop every single time. This way if they lose they can bitch and say I can't believe you called my AK with those rags and act like the other person is a donkey. When really its their own fault for forcing the action the way they did not giving themselves a chance to fold when they completely miss the flop. It amazes me how many times people push 2k+ in chips into a $15 pot and the blinds are only 5/10... unless I have aces I'll just fold and be like you can have those 15 chips, I'd rather them waste a good hand cause they were too scared to see a flopped then waste my chips because they decided to overplay their hand, you know what I mean!!

Two high cards are supposed to be good right? Well maybe 80% of the time....
