AK - all in or call

leshausa03 · Mar 19, 2016

What do you think about AK hand? I noticed that this combination is almost never wins. Now I try to play with AK quietly

Olgert1992 · Mar 19, 2016

It depends on many things. His position at the table as an opponent has played, it can be rearranged. In any case, if the opponent did reiz and you with AK 3bet you put, it is necessary to put on 4bet go allin. In general, this hand is difficult to throw. Only if someone did reiz he put 3 bet and the player has moved the 4 bet.

I play poker stars,for all time I used to catch these maps often with the same suit , but didn't win ever with them ,they won only with a high kicker,but did not collect the right combination,is really not worth it with these cards to go in the kennel)

Thank you for opinions

ismagul · Mar 19, 2016

it depends on your stack size.. all in when short stack

If i have AK,usuallly go all in first.....

I use to play AK agressivelly but, you should always care about your position, opponent stack, your stack and chips in play.. never oversize a bet just because you have AK after seeing the flop when you don't hit it, unless you have a good bluff opportunity.

not always play like AK , there are many condiciales that make AK play in different ways , such as your stack, your position , the stage of the tournament , also the stack rival, how many players entered the hand

I lost with AKo, to one man who raised before flop 12K when BB was 6k, I go allin with 100k chips and he call(100k -all chips) me so fast with 63o.
And in flop QJ6 turn 6 river 3- FULL HOUSE.
So never you know what will come its 50/50.

If I don't care, all in. Otherwise, it depends on position chip stack...

AK is great hand. How I play this hand its depend on many factors.

I had KK pre in a 6 max 25NL zone poker other day , i raised, villain insta shoved full stack (I had about 60 , he had about 25), he shows AKo, hits an Ace on the flop. Now in most cases, esp deep I'm calling all day everyday with KK pre because I want to be against hands like AK and lower pairs.

But I don't think shoving all in full stack with AKo in a cash game against someone whose raising you is good poker. If tables were turned I'd call the raise and if I hit the Ace, id bet or re-raise if the board is good for it.

AK is definitely a weaker hand , it's behind far more often than it's ahead pre flop. 22 can beat AK. Remember that.

The all-in in NL Holdem is an option, not a requirement.

JohnBoe · Mar 19, 2016

AK is a good starting hand, when I'm in good position, many players already folded and my stack is very short of course it's an alli-in, but if I'm deep stacked there is no need to ship it.

alexis8888 · Mar 20, 2016

AK is less strong hand than 22.

maxpayne1994 · Mar 20, 2016

go all in AK depends on how much stack you have and your position friend ... because if your position is good: will have made reading the other game and will be able to see if worth going all in ...
it has little stack: hardly repeated a good hand as well, so I'd better go all in regardless

Yet, AK is a much easier hand to play than 22 post flop. AK will pick up more post flop pots with c-bets than 22 will in the long run, whether it hits or misses. With 22, you practically have to hit a set in order to continue.

Heads-up, 22 vs AK is just 50-50.

Edge: AK

I just wrote something like this in another post on here explaining just what you pointed out that 22 is still better than AK. however I'd still rather have AK.

So, you're telling me that you rather have players fold 5-2 instead of going all in with them when you're holding AA?

That doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

jerohit · Mar 20, 2016

before flop its all a coin flip.. some times even pocket aces can be loose..

Cloxy · Mar 20, 2016

i always make 4BB on preflop ... if against me more than 2 persons make all-in, i pass. Another situations i call on preflop. If on flop there are at least one over card i often make cont-bet (or block-bet). But too much depends on count of players on table, type of players against who you play, size of my stack and so on. But maybe it is bad game i really don't know.

Break it down really simply.

Will villain call it off with a worse hand?
if not then our shove is -VE

Generally I dont like shoving all in with AK
