OverPlaying AK

[RWPFhero]

Ah... Over Playing AK seems to be my kryptonite. Last night AK(s) ran into KK. Any suggestions?

[abwil2]

you just cant get afraid to play AK hard, even tho its still a drawing hand. Its just bad luck when it runs into AA or KK lol

[topeagle]

AK is not a strong hand..you must be carefull and play hard..i don't like it so much

[topeagle]

you loose only if play all in. if you make a strong raise only to see the flop...you'll have the chance to muck it

[Poof]

Just remember 22>AK.
I do not consider it an all in PF hand unless if you are short ( I know others will disagree, I see some all in with any suited ace), I would raise to isolate and see the flop, but am prepared to lay it down if I miss and my C bet gets called/raised..

I know statistically Ak vrs 22 is a coin flip but it really isnt as close as odds make it appear. Ak is ranked 8 hands better then 22, you can look at it anyways u want but ak is 8 hands better...with 22 thru to upper middle pairs u have to hit to win. Theres no way to call anything after a higher card hits the flop(unless ur live and have a helluva read) and odds are higher cards will hit the flop. I know some will disagree but.... look at a hand rank guide.

dude your wrong

dude your wrong

please share why you think he is wrong ...

I think he is pretty correct on this one. 22 vs ak ... the 2's are about 52/48 favorite if its heads up and it gets the river (key word is IF). Hard to take 22 all the way to the river if you get any heat. Say a flop comes 5 J Q rainbow ... someone leads out with a decent sized bet ... would you rather call that bet with 22 or AK?

AK's the shit, and deuces are shit. I don't care about the 52/48. You have a 4% chance of hitting a set on flop, and if not you are going to fold to any bet b4u right?

he said that the ak is a favorite which it isnt, its about exactly 50 50
not even 52 48 either
