do we put to much hope on ak

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

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 AK

I fold AK sometimes, when I know another person probably would have called all-in. So not too sure bout that. Think for a week everytime I get a certain two cards, im going to go all in... not great strategy - rather poor thinking but I need to crush some of you AK all inners.

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
