Why Steve Stokely advised me to fold AKs in preflop?

I don't think it's a bug. Because it's low limits the large 3 bet from the bb indicates a big hand like AA KK or the same hand you have, maybe. It's just that three betting in low limit games is very infrequent, generally it's only done with a few hands.

That's my thought at least.

Edit: although after watching it again I wondered why he says "Too bad you don't have more chips!" When you call off your stack.

Let's start from the place when you limped with AKs. It's not a good practise. This is not that kind of hand which you can limp with. I would understand if you limped with AA or KK, but it would be again a bad practise. Don't do that. It's better to raise cause you must isolate other players with weaker hands from the flop.
In this particular situation I don't know why you were advised to fold this hand. It's a call.

Yeah, I know that. But I try out different tactics sometimes, and most of those robot opponents were aggressive players, so I tried if anyone would raise if I call in early position and get more players in.
Sometimes I make such kind of moves that don't make any sense. But these tricks working most of the time.

To get more players in? Do you think it will work? Actually the opposite. The more players are in the pot the less chances you have. This rule is for all hands. I would understand if you limped with a high pocket pair because it's a kind of a completed hand. But AK needs an improvement yet. Which btw it doesn't get. So, be careful with different moves. Sometimes it is better to play ABC poker I've found out for myself.

just played a hand AK preflop in tournaments and I lost!
and kicked out of the tournament!

I had better be folded so as to keep a little still inside!
ALTHOUGH Avoid other good hands with the pair in hand preflop and save because just ends the game I saw that he would not have done the same in this hand!
