I'm starting to get the feeling that this AK debate is one of those pretty unresolvable poker debates that probably is so close EV wise as to not be worth worrying all that much about.

I'm willing to say that I think calling 2.5 cold and capping are both perfectly fine ways to play this hand.

I actually find calling more fun because it increases our ability to do fun laggy things on the flop, like check-raise a bet and a raise and dumb junk like that.

You make a very, very important point though.

no, wait.

Aye.

Along with that point, I see that folding is the least fun of my options. It has -EF, in my opinion, although it adds points to my chance to get flamed (don't know if that's + or - EF.) Rest assured, I won't be folding this again.
