Of course you can fold AK, but it depends on the situation. If people start going all in preflop with a huge stack or when they start making huge bets, then it happens I fold AK, because usually that is a sign of them having pairs preflop or like three of a kinds or straights on the table. I don't know how your situation was, but yeah AK can lose against JJ or 10Q. Try to think for yourself whether it was really bad luck or whether you were just a bit overconfident in your AK. Maybe a less aggressive approach or more aggressive would have been better. This is a learning process and comes with more experience.
It’s reasonable to make 3 bet with preflop AK, reraise will only be made by an equivalent or stronger hand.Preflop AK is good, and called a premium hand. It still concerns me as you for the most part only have 6 outs against any pair, and a very slim chance of making a straight. I still raise preflop, trying to force out any garbage that might hit, as well as small pairs, but losing with AK is not that unusual. Good luck
Just find the correct position for using AK, it looses alot to me too but have found some spot where ir is usefull. Good luck.

Howzit CC. Help please!!!
Two nights in a row my AK suited and unsuited gets cracked by Jacks and my unsuited by 10Q unsuited.
Can you really fold AK, or is just a run of bad luck??
