Message: [QUOTE="Batarang96, post: 5356711, member: 302263"] In a tournament, I can pitch it, pre-flop, if the pot is 4-bet, or more. If I've got a small stack, and I'm on the cusp of a significant pay-jump, then I have no problem with folding it, in a 3-bet pot. Pre-flop, there are situations where AKs can be more desirable than QQ, KK, and even AA (often when you're in early position, at a table full of calling stations). But, there are also times where hands as weak as 22 and 98s are more desirable. It's a very powerful hand, but by no means is it "point-and-shoot". With the right amount of finesse, it can become one of your most profitable hands. [/QUOTE]
