How does AK rate an 84% favorite pre flop ranking when it is also only a 33% chance you will connect to the flop? My experience with AK is closer to a coin toss, maybe 60% on a good day, chance of winning. Even if I raise pre flop, I will invariably get called by anyone holding a pocket pair, even 22 or anybody holding faces like JQ. I will miss completely and the pair will win or the weak hand will hit to pair up and an A or K will never show up. Is it just me or how does this hand rank as the third best starting hand even over QQ?
