Default Re: Playing AK from Early Position

Ok, I guess I wasn't clear enough when I said it's correct against weak players that will call with any crap like in the micros. I know that.

I'm talking about situations where an UTG raise will often if not usually get you heads up against another premium hand - very often a good pair. That situation might not be better than allowing some AJ, KT, KJ hands etc... limp in where we would have them dominated.

Re-read the comments. What limits are you playing that you are regularly being called when you raise with AK by only AA or KK? AK is about the 3rd best starting hand, you want people calling with garbage against it. Over 37+k hands on Party it is my 3rd or 4th most profitable hand. Post a hand where you think it was correct to not raise with this pre-flop.

Does your usual AK hand go like this:
You: raise
Them: call, call, call
Flop: no A or K
You: check
Them: bet, bet, bet
You: fold "I can't win with AK at these leves because they don't respect my raises!"
