AK is one of the best hands in no-limit hold'em. Inferior to AK any pocket pair . But again, it is not much weaker than QQ, one of the most powerful hands in no limit hold'em. AK is important not to overestimate,

AK is a very strong hand, against any couple, but 45% chance that even mathematically obliged to call any hand. It can only throw it away, if you raised and you rearranged human 2-3. In any case, the hand has a large equity and throw it in the pass even after the 4-bet does not make sense.

Would I get it in with AK if I knew the other player was allin with QQ?

I mean what exactly is the question here? Honestly there seems like there's just soooo much jargin & nonsensical stuff in this thread it's hard to sort through it.

There are MANY instances where I'd get the AK in... ie. how much dead money is already in the middle (this could make it a no-brainer to call it off).

Generally speaking though, the power of AK is when you're the one getting it in as opposed to calling it off. AND there are MANY times where it is 100% correct to reshove with it (whether it be a 3bai or 4bai). So many suggesting to call to see a flop... it's a drawing hand etc.,... this is generally nonsense (sorry).

I like AK much more, there will be many more possibilities, such as a sequel, pair, crack and fullhouse

You did not understand me! For example, you play a hand in a tournament with AK or QQ VS QQ or AK, you can show it here! His hand in my theme! Thank you in advance!

AK is a really strong hand. You don't want to get it all in when you have a a lot of big blinds. But around 30 or less big blinds, its a nice hand. You are not always going to be against QQ or big pairs. A lot of times its against AQ, AJ.

Everything depends on quantity of counters in the opponent.)

If you are short stacked and the blinds are big you need to take a coin flip against one player and hope for a double up. It will probably be the best chance you have to stay viable in the tourney, to shove with AK. You got to take a shot rather than get blinded away.

I like playing AK agressively but most of the time you are facing pocket pairs when shoving

Why to rush if you have good cards? Wait to see what will happen and then decide if it i worth to play with these cards. If I have AK I would just call and see the flop. Then I would decide If I will go all or not.

So in the tournament I'm playing with AK 3 bet get allin, and of course his calls, because the hand of AK 5beta push an opponent shows his hand QQ! Do I play?
Who will say what is right, someone that is not? so who is right? I decided to go deeper, and so get started!
the chances are 45% I 55% against the enemy, that means that about 100 hands AK against QQ I will win 45 times out of 100 and lose 55 times! Wow, I said it is not profitable! in the long run I concede! not to mention the case!
So how to play correctly? if I lose in the long run? after much thought and views of different clips, I came to the conclusion that if you know what you're up against a pair that will play such values, whether you hand is suited? Is an aggressive player? what the speaker on the table? and what happens if I play in different versions?
and the answer is obvious! Play Of course not! Only question is how? depending on the situation, such as an aggressive player you in the position play made the call!
Look at the flop and on the flop if you improve to a pair, do not be afraid of a chance to improve 32%, and if you get something suited AK flush draw 11%. so sturuktura flop to give two cards of the same suit are 55%, improve the likelihood QQ set to 12% of the opening, and to be an overpair on the flop 60%! Based on these probabilities it turns out that you need to play AK despite what your opponent or how many of them? there probably will help you intuition! so when you're playing against the major players beware! But what conclusions in the end, I lost!do you ???
I'm curious how you think you are?

Yep you have blockers to AA, KK and AK, making it about 50% less likely your opponent can have these hands, this makes it reasonable your opponent could have something like . If your opponent is 3 betting a wider range of hands and you have some fold equity I don't mind the 4b shove. If you have a HUD look at his 3 bet%, is it 1% or 8%, what you did is fine against one type of opponent and terrible against the other.

Most of the time i'm going to check - call with QQ to see the flop or i'm going all in before flop if i'm the last to talk. with the AK i'm going to check-call but not more.

No wonder they call AK 'Big Slick'. I do not put ALL in with this hand, because it almost always loses to pocket pairs even small ones. :)

AK is a good hand when you are desperate - then, ofcourse its hard to get better odds and you should go all-in without much thinking. However, if your stack is good, that might not always be the case, like all-in against other largestack - might obstain from such move.
