| I play 6 Max cash games and think the best way to play AK preflop is to keep raising/raising/raising/all in. You will get a lot of money from the folds of the other players and if they do call you then AK has pretty good equity generally. I'm not sure if this applies as much in 9/10 Max games and of course if you have some soulread that a certain player ONLY raises AA preflop then feel free to fold. @The Dark Side: I find that my last hand in a tournament is more often than not QQ+ or AK because I am nitty and wait for good hands and play them fast but even with strong hands you can lose. That's poker. |

| From what I've heard 'it depends!' - lol... Assuming 100BB stacks... -Against very aggressive 3-bettors when you're OOP you really want to be getting as much money in as possible pre-flop, I believe... -Against players who play predictably post-flop (e.g. high c-bet%, you just KNOW you're going to get extra cash off villain cuz he's going to c-bet whatever comes up, or they play fit or fold and they're nitty) you might want to be calling IP... More inclined to call IP when suited? -If you're not absolutely comfortable with playing post-flop against a fairly aggressive 3-betty/4-betty type player, then get money in pre-flop. -Only time I consider folding AK pre-flop: Hero has fairly tight image, 3-bets a nit who is in EP and gets 4-bet. Reason being, the very bottom of nitty villain's 4-bet range is going to be QQ which you're coinflipping with, the rest dominates you apart from having the same hand... Against a real tight nit who doesn't even c-bet light you might want to consider just calling a pre-flop raise as opposed to 3-betting... Short stacks, get it all in... Deep stacks, be more inclined to see and play the flop... Think what I said was pretty standard, think this is a pretty well covered spot already... If you read any decent book on beating 6-max it should cover this kind of spot... (Ed Miller's Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em is a real gem) |
