With the exception of an ICM or satellite situation, I am never folding AK and am happy to get it all in preflop. No hesitation.
Why? Because you really have nothing to worry about preflop with AK.
AA or KK? Psssh, iirc, at a full table, the odds of you running into either AA/KK is ~200:1 or ~1/2%. I'm not sure the odds of running into both. So, you have nothing to worry about there.
You dominate all other A/x and K/xhands, you flip with smaller pairs, and you're a ~60% favorite against all other hands. In fact, vs a 100% call range, AK/s is a 65/35 favorite.
Don't be afraid to get AK in pre.
