Re: AKo Preflop - Conventional wisdom is wrong.

He's saying that when you have AKo on the button and everyone and their mother limps to you, you shoulden't make an emormous raise to drive everyone out. Make a medium raise that all the hands you dominate will call, and play a multi-way pot where you still have good equity.
Same goes for UTG. Don't make an emormous raise to drive everyone out, make a standard raise and play the pot multi-way if you have to.

That's a big mistake imo. There are just too few flops that are going to be good for you, and when you allow a large range of hands to play against you, you're going to be drawn out on.
What are we considering an enormous raise? I mean if the table is folding around for 4x BB raise, then put in a smaller raise to get a little action, but you have to be cognizant of what hands are being called with what BBx raise.
