Re: AK is the worst starting hand in poker.
i'm not a big fan of the cloutier/mcevoy pot-limit and no-limit book, but the words "A-K is a piece of cheese to raise with up front" are easily the most valuable info in there.
raising to 8xBB with AK is ridiculous, especially in early position. remember, your goal with this hand is to win money from top pair with a worse kicker, and you've pretty much run all those hands out of the pot.
