I disagree with you on the c-bet issue, especially with AK.

My philosophy on AK against good players (I think from your posts that this category includes the typical 109er.) is to play it like I have AA or KK unless I expect to go to a showdown. I actually keep wanting to write a comp program to mess around with this further, and I'll definitely post the results once I do.

Basically, the idea is that there are 24 combos of AA/KK and 16 combos of AK, and AK has either 6 or 3 outs against a 1-pair hand.

Given that you don't c-bet, I understand why you'd want to bet smaller.
