Playing AKo AKs the same way but getting very different results. Good 9max Horrible 7max

I've looked at heaps of videos on AK and play it in a TAG poker style. Super rarely go all - pre flop
I'll just show the stats firstly Ignition over 25000 hands at Ignition 9max, note the AKs

Then the same stakes at Coinpoker over 10000 7max improved AKs stats
I assume this is variance or Coinpoker is haunted?
Any advice?

You can't fold AKo here.

MP's stack is only 54bb and with his level of aggression we're well ahead of his range with our AKo and there's a lot of dead money already in the pot.


What range do you think he's jamming with here? It should be much wider than normal due to both the shorter stack and villain's aggressive play style.

and what do you want with AK to win every hand? except probably when the opponent has AA)))) even 22 has a better chance, because it's a ready hand, and AK is not there yet, it's a good hand, but not ready... if you take it superficially, but if you look deeper, then you need to look at the position, and whether there are discoveries in front of you, who is sitting, how he plays... I'll tell you that hands like AK, AQ, AJ win in about one hand out of three... in general, open GTO wizard and watch those hands where you think that poker has acted unfairly towards you, and you will see and understand everything for yourself, if you are not a fool))

No, I'm not looking to win every hand. It would be nice to breakeven, though.


If I put a hand as played in the microstakes GTO wizard just gives an error.
Plug my latest AK in GTO wizard

I'm -367bb/100 over the last 140 AK AKs hands. You can't say for sure he is a fish, I only have 126 hands but he isn't short stacked and with a 33 is still at 53% to win.
Then I still have BB to act after me, who isn't a fish - and after 9000 hands only 3bets 5.4%. I'm surprised he had AJs and not JJ or better

I'm genuinely sure you're a better poker player then I am. That's why I posted the question.
Like I said though, I'm still loosing 53% of the time. Plus fish don't always have a bad hand see attached hand.
I still had the BB, would you have not folded even with the BB's action?
