A good friend of mine who is playing reasonably high and making a lot of money told me NEVER to lay down AK preflop with 100BB stacks. You just lose too much value. I respect his play very much and usually listen to him, but how can you possibly not lay down in the 2 examples I'm giving here? Does anyone not lay them down? What do you guys think?
