Message: [QUOTE="PaxMundi, post: 4501543, member: 378159"] This is one of those how longs a piece of string questions.There isn't a right or wrong answer per se ,with anything in poker nothing is generic.Who are we playing when we have AK ? are there any callers ? what format is it a tourney or cash ,if it's cash what handed 6 max or full ring?.Position also plays a big part of whether we want to call or 4bet and of'course any info helps our decision. As a rule of thumb AK plays better all in pre as the aggressor because we gain fold equity preflop and we also then realize the full equity of the hand postflop as we see all 5 community cards.So really AK in the majority of scenarios isn't a hand we want to slow play.It's a high equity hand that benefits from playing hard and fast preflop in most cases.
