Message: [QUOTE="Dobbler1, post: 6865168, member: 488187"] AK suited. Out of position, it's the sort of hand that doesn't encourage slow play, so pots often get big. From card distribution, it's unlikely to be in a pot with a worse flush or flush draw, so you rarely get paid on a flushed board unless you're beat by a boat, quads or straight flush. It's hard to call down much aggression if you just have overcards. It's easy to over-bluff and get called down by made hands. When your draw hits, it's often easy for your opponent to get away from it, and it's easy to loose a decent sized pot to an Ax that hits 2 pair or a small pair that makes a set. Because there's so much danger and uncertainty, it's easy to play the hand badly, which I have many times. I play equal strength and worse strength starting hands consistently better than I play AK suited. [/QUOTE]
