sklansky is explicitly referring to people who have poor postflop skills.

First, "poor" is different than "atrocious". His loose players make poor postflop decisions by choice, not because they don't know any better. You're dealing with people in 1/2 online that will chase any (or no) little-bitty-tiny-microscopic piece of the flop all the way to the river and suckout your AK two-pair hand with 93o from the SB when the board comes AK3-7-3.

Make them start making wrong decisions as early as you can.

yeah, you're pretty much right. but just because vindication feels so good, sklansky does recommend not always raising AK in loose games with very bad postflop players. (obviously it's debatable in this situation, and I'm not really convinced either way.. but just because I trust you guys so very much I don't plan on using this play for a long time.) the advice I was referring to was from pages 157 to 164 if you have HEFAP.

and I don't mind getting sucked out on as long as my opponent made a wrong call to get there.

as a side note, I've been beaten by two preflop unraised AK's in the last half hour. silly poker gods.
