AK is such a powerful hand that you can't forgo your preflop edge like this. It is difficult to make up the lost bets. Also, in many cases, you can just raise and let the preflop value of the hand win all the money for you.

eh, I sort of disagree with it being difficult to make up lost bets. you can make up for them because 1) you can value bet your hand when it doesn't improve [am I totally off here? I'm thinking that when you've shown aggression preflop people are more liable to fold] and 2) when you do hit, have sort of a disguised hand for the aforementioned reason.

I hate to seem like I'm just spitting out what I've read (which is partially what I'm doing I guess...), but I'm having trouble convincing myself what that it isn't sound.
