i'm not saying AK is a bad hand, just that its extreamly overplayed. people act like having AK is like automatically having the nuts and they shouldn't lose if they have AKQuote:

Just the second hand of the 10 o'clock tourney there's a guy at my table who pushed all in and everyone folded.... luckily he rabbit hunted and we all saw he had AK.... its like what I was saying earlier, people are so afraid to lose with ace king they push all in when the pot is so minimal. 2000 bet in order to win 40 chips
I would say I do,but 88 has been my nemesis crushed me every single time :(
I usually loseall in pre with AK. They usually have K2 or something and hit the 3 outer lol.
i kept running into 8\'s last night too couldn\'t beat them, and then i got them a few times as well and couldn\'t win with them lol
i wud say raise a bit and hope for the best if no luck then too bad but dont chase for a pair too hard specially on the turn if bet too high thn u shud probably fold .
Yea people over play AK but I play AK agressively cause you can win more and lose less with that hand.....unlike AA or KK. Great Risk/Reward hand.
AK is my favourite hand. but i always bet hard pre flop on it otherwise often people with small cards kick you out
I hear ya , I play it slow once in awhile too :)Quote:
