do we put to much hope on ak

[dipstick2]

i wonder do we often over play the value of a k,i know at times i do,seems like if i get it 10 times ,it only comes up bout maybe 4 times on the flop.

well its the 5th best starting hand for a reason but ya have to willing to ditch it after the flop if ya whiff..

[wwwrungood]

I dont think its overvalued. Maybe after the flop when ppl dont let go of it. Buts its still a strong hand that has so many non pair hands dominated.

I always play ak like aces.

Here is David Sklansky take on Big Slick. Not sure I embrace this but it does have some merit.

you know what they say, "don't get married to AK". that's the truth too. if it doesn't hit you gotta let it go.

Well when i get ak i always go allin preflop if im shotystack, but yea what Matusow is saying also true..

[AryAlton]

tricky hand, AK is a damn set up. just go all-in with it and pray like hell you dont get snapped off by pocket 2's

[remix345]

u either go all-in preflop or try to pretend ur playing high pair like j's and above..

Nice Allin hand when shortstacked, but I try not to overplay it and to let it go when not hitting the board.
