AceKing, the hand that gets a lot of players in trouble. I've been trying to improve my play with it and came up with an observation that most players at micro tend to play their AK over the top putting their whole stacks in the middle and get called by AA or KK which can never bring you profit. I'm not talking about shortstacked players here, but the one's with 100BB stacks. What I've come up with is that by 3-betting my AK I'm narrowing the field to AA KK which are going to 4-bet and QQ which are going to call, so by doing that I kind of know where my hand is at. Even if someone does 4-bet with QQ and I end up folding, the villain was a slight favorite either ways.
We're looking at a different play when against shortstacks as their ranges will be far wider, so at this point we might have him dominated and the price is good enough for us to call that 4-bet shove. I was against Aces once, but the other times it's either QQ or weaker Aces.
So how's that? Any suggestions on improving this?
