Default Re: an AKs hand - what to do?

1. You just raised 12BB from UTG, way too much.
2. You have to call this bet here.
3. Get allin on an A or K, fold unless you have a flush draw- and in some scenerios fold the flush draw depending on the odds you are getting, assume he has AA or KK (dont count aces/kings as outs)

I agree with #1 here, but 2 and 3 don't make sense together. If neither an A nor a K are good outs, then why do you have to call? You recommend folding the flush draw and not counting your pairs as outs. What exactly is he calling with then?

[/ QUOTE ]
I am saying not to count pairs made on the turn and river as outs, if he is set allin on the flop with a flush draw, because if he is, it is more likely that he is against AA or KK. However, if he has a flush draw, and the opponent bets 1/2 the pot, it is less likely he is angainst AA or KK.
If an ace or king comes on the flop he is commited to go all-in.

Got it?
