Message: [QUOTE="AllOut, post: 6242164, member: 458694"] Sure math says it's a pair and pairs have little advantage over AK but it's still coin flip. The thing is, AK is a monster when it comes to cruicial moments when there's 4-5 bets or shoves. I believe most players would pick AK instead of low pairs in a 6-9 table games mostly. You can play this hand like AA or KK but usually you can't go that crazy with low pairs. As far as I saw people (I mean professionals mostly) play millions of dollars pot holding AK. You won't often see someone do that with low pairs. I've seen a lot of players call 3-way allin with AK where most people fold TT/below pairs. Also in a full table tourneys, those low pairs are fold usually in early/mid positions. I've never seen anyone folds AK preflop without any action (except bubble positions or multi-way allins). Now you decide which is stronger. [/QUOTE]
