Do you ever call AK on preflop?

[uri73796]

it all depends on the position at the table. but I still pay off with a raise

I myself would call with AK maybe even a 3 bet depending on my position at the time but never an all in call preflop.

If in my opponent's vision range you have AK, I will probably give up pre-flop with medium hands and post-flop will depend a lot on the cards I hit

Hello. I do. Here's my thinking. If a person has KK and I have JJ and I push, that person is bound todo the same. If I see the flop and it has a K or an Ace and I have two jacks, I am in trouble. If I push and the KK guy pushes, I am in trouble.
If on the other hand, I see the flop and it comes with a Jack with non face cards, I feel better about pusing.
So to me, Calling or a double-triple raise will do.
I am sure others play in other ways, too.

I ALWAYS 3-BET, OR DEPENDING ON THE BET PAID TO SEE. AND IN SOME MOMENTS I RAISE. BUT IT'S HARD TO SHAPE THE HAND.

Depends on many factors. If for example you are vs 1 player, he 3 bet. You can just called or reraise his bet. Your position, if the player is tigh or not, how many chips do you have, him, stage of the tournament...
AK sometimes you just reraise and take the pot or sometimes just called to see the flop. Many things to consider.
Cheers,
M.D.

no, I've always raised.

2.5/3.5 bet seems pretty standard

AK is a big starting hand. It really depends on action and opponents. But I am calling, raising and 3 betting this hand on a varied frequency.

 

[Rob Hobson]

I may call...
I may raise...re-raise...
I do whatever it's possible, since do not risk all my chips at one hand pre-flop. I'll be put in a wrong range of hands, my goal.

Guys, it's comfortable to call preflop with AK, but it depends on what comes on the flop. if nothing comes up, bluffing to see if I draw chips with my high card and if the opponent calls I realize that I am in bad shape ...

 

[TCHUCO2005]

I also agree with Rob, in this case for me it is if you have the advantage of chips
