How do you play AK and QQ preflop, raise or all in, or limp to bait players with weaker hands? I personally often make a big raise or even all-in.

Always raise with them, never go all in without understanding your rivals hands, you could have real bad luck and get against AA or KK

It all depends on type of tournament, position and my stacks. If I am low on stacks I will probably go All in and hope for best, If I am chip leader it will be raise. But also it depends on other players. Are they passive or aggressive. There is a lot of factors to take in.

this is a good hand to push if your raise is moved, I almost always go all-in

I make the most of these hands when I'm tight and with a possible payer, but when my stack is acceptable I prefer to be cautious (hazard likes to play tricks on us) and settle with whatever I earn.

When it comes to tournaments, I always go all-in, but in cash game I push all-in only QQ (because its ready hand) with AK it depends on opponent, Tight and Nit only 4 bet or check, and against a loose player I go all-in

It will depend a bit on the value of the chips at the time of the tournament and of course the opponent in question!​

I'll definitely raise and see what the other players will do, because if I do all-in right away I can just give KK AA a chance to double against me why is it easy to give them such a chance after they act, you can make a further decision because if you get small cards with AK, you can simply throw away the cards after the turn and not lose much

All in with these cards? I want to play them for value and not scare them away with the opponents.
Perhaps under 7-8 BB, AK can be allin

Always raise, but never go into all in. It's better to see Flop before!
Good games!

With AK and QQ I raise. It's always good to scare away curious adventurers. We cannot give chance to chance. Limp is very dangerous and can punish a player who has a good, competitive hand.

With Ak and QQ I usually give a good boost if I'm weak at the table. If I have a little stronger I vary my strategies. But I never give All-in.

Limp would only be an option if I had a maniac that got all-in or raised big as soon as people just limped but had the sense to recognize strength if I raised.

After that, I call his all-in or 4-bet him.

Otherwise standard is raise, 3-bet, and almost always 4-bet unless the players are VERY tight.

(or push all-in if short in an MTT of course)

It all depends on what type of cash game or tournament playing, AK are just high cards and QQ's you have AA's and KK's to watch out for.

It all depends on the number of chips. And so it's definitely a raise, at least 3.

That is a raise at best but situation in my opinion. I have sen a lot of pairs get busted by straights, flushes and funhouses.
