AK is a hand which always manages to get me in trouble. I think for me it's difficult to play with it because it has so much potential strength but when you miss with it I overplay it. For me it's hard to lay down AK when I miss when I already invested so much in the pot by 3betting (and cbetting). So here are a few hands (some more standard than others) I hope you guys can give me some advice on this.
