Message: [QUOTE="AllOut, post: 6163284, member: 458694"] AK is probably 4th best starting hand, so there's no doubt why eveyone play this cards strong. . One thing benefits this hand is you know that you block ace and the king this way you're less likely to be against those monsters AA or KK. I personally love AK more than most hands, certainly more than pocket jacks. AK vs any low pairs, it's flip ok but would you really put your whole stack to any pair when you face 4 bet? I don't think so. AK will be disaster for any Ax hands most of the times. Other than that if we're not going to give this card enough value, then we better don't play poker. And weakness about AK that I fold it only when 2 or more players shoves. Depends on the stacks, that's really dangerous diving into pot with that hand. I let it go mostly. On the earlier stages of tourney, we might consider folding against one player too, just because there's no need for gamble this early. :) [/QUOTE]
