If i have AK,usuallly go all in first.....
Yet, AK is a much easier hand to play than 22 post flop. AK will pick up more post flop pots with c-bets than 22 will in the long run, whether it hits or misses. With 22, you practically have to hit a set in order to continue.AK is less strong hand than 22.
I had KK pre in a 6 max 25NL zone poker other day , i raised, villain insta shoved full stack (I had about 60 , he had about 25), he shows AKo, hits an Ace on the flop. Now in most cases, esp deep I'm calling all day everyday with KK pre because I want to be against hands like AK and lower pairs.
But I don't think shoving all in full stack with AKo in a cash game against someone whose raising you is good poker. If tables were turned I'd call the raise and if I hit the Ace, id bet or re-raise if the board is good for it.
AK is definitely a weaker hand , it's behind far more often than it's ahead pre flop. 22 can beat AK. Remember that.
So, you're telling me that you rather have players fold 5-2 instead of going all in with them when you're holding AA?hehe people pokerstars at low stakes is not poker its bingo game ^^ and it normal u can lose with A-K, at those low stakes im losing 80% hand's A-A with an idiot going all in with 5-2 ^^.
What do you think about AK hand? I noticed that this combination is almost never wins. Now I try to play with AK quietly
