A whole bunch of AKs hands

[robertsonjohn]

I finally got Poker Tracker and was overjoyed to find that AKs is a marginally losing hand for me over 9,000 hands (it’s actually a money-loser, but I’m positive BB/100 since I only seem to lose with it when I try higher limits). I see places where I think I should have played differently, but in most of those, I think I actually would have ended up losing more. Any help?

Sorry no hand converter, but I couldn’t figure out how to make the converter work with Poker Tracker histories.

That's too many hands for one post. I'll comment on a few:

Hand 2: I think you can raise the river, and puke if 3bet.

Hand 4: 3bet the flop

Hand 6: This is important. You should virtually never try to c/r if you were the only preflop aggressor. This was a big mistake.
