One out of three... All in, Play, Reset...))) The choice is the master's business)))

Always an All-In? No!
AK is in horrible shape if your opponent literally only plays pocket Aces

Most players are literally that tight though. The other big situation where AK All-In is horrible is when you are more deepstacked. The deeper stack depths get, then the more chips you can lose per hand, so All-In becomes gradually worse and worse of an option.

AK is a great hand for usually value betting, but there are also times AK needs to slow down and play more cautiously. All-In is an extreme for aggression, but it lacks the nuance of poker.

No definitely not always, nothing in poker is “always”. It’s going to depend on lots of factors just like any hand you play or fold in poker.

 

[pltelles]

Normally not, but depending on the position and stack size, it's possible to go all in.

Only when you are short stack. Otherwise it's not worth gambling.

 

[WladiYoga]

It really depends. Is it preflop? Do you have to do it? Is there a King on the flop? Did you not hit anything on the flop? Do you know the players on the table? Is it a torunament? Thousands of questions and each time you have to play differently. The cards by themselves do not decide everything that's happening.

Always when you have a short stack, you need to play it

 

[miroq]

Definitely not always. It depends on many different factors: your position, the size of your and your opponents' stacks, the type of game your opponents are playing (lose or tight). There are many different situations in which it is recommended to play AI with AK: you are on a short stack, in late position with no previous raises, you get a good flop (A or K). It is not recommended when you are in late position and there are many bets/raises ahead of you or the board is wet without an A or K. Or just opponent has low vpip and plays aggresive and you have nothing. In that case, it is better to fold for me.

always or....
It all depends on the situation. If you think there is only one scenario in poker, you are deeply mistaken.

 

[tihomir_kula]

In low money tournaments at the beginning always all in, because: 1. The opportunity to beat more than one player is great. 2.In case of lost the wasted time is short. 3. Lost money are not too much.

 

[TheniT]

It depends on many factors, but you should rarely go all in with AK, unless you have 10 or fewer big blinds in a tournament.

 

[frost234]

Of course not. Different situations require different choices.

 

[dreamer13]

Playing A-K preflop usually involves raising or even 3-betting to fold weaker hands and manage the pot size.This hand offers a lot of opportunities to control the table, but requires tact, the ability to analyze the situation and the ability to adapt to the game circumstances.

For me, AK isn’t an “always all-in” hand… it’s more like a “sometimes I feel brave, sometimes I just want to see a flop like a normal human” hand.
Shoving every time with AK is great until the poker gods decide it’s “pair vs. two overcards? Let’s have some fun today.”
So no — not always all-in. Sometimes I play it fast, sometimes I play it smooth… and sometimes I just close my eyes and hope the flop is kind.

 

[kmiarka]

Suited?

No

3 - 4BB and give up if missed usually.

All in preflop
