Re: Anyone else dread AKo ?

As foolish as this sounds, part of it may be your attitude. When you see a situation in poker (i.e. AKo) that you have had bad experiences with, sometimes you tend to be more passive, tenative, not making the best decisions for that time. (Believe me when I say that I am speaking to the mirror right now.) AKo especially at the low levels is a premium hand. Read SSHE, play accordingly and big suck will redeem itself

God commentary macdaddy.
When I was entrenched in a 200BB slide I could damn near cry everytime I saw an AA/KK or worse yet JJ. Knowing they needed to be bet, raised and reraised absolutely killed me 'cuz I knew I was going to lose one more time.
There is a great short section in SSHE which kept me going and clicking the raise button early on in the book about the short term mind things. You get burned once or twice and the pain is there so your mind tells you not to be doing that nonsense anymore! The thin is though, you need to keep doing it for the long term.
