Re: AK Problem
[ QUOTE ]
what about in deep stack tourney when someone is betting heavy w/ no made flush or straight?

i think in that case you should be able to get away.
its difficult, i know, readless in an online tourney, to figure out if the other guy is just some donk with A8 who doesnt understand that his hand isnt that good, or is a solid player (or a donk, for that matter) with a set.
i think sometimes you just have to submit to the fact that you may be laying down the best when you pair AK and face a high level of aggression on a drawless board. or, maybe not even laying down -- i know a lot of the players in the deep stack NL forums will often take more passive, calldown lines with one pair AK hands against certain opponents.
its a fine line to walk between maximizing value with those hands, and busting to sets and two pair hands. i dont think anyone has the cut and dry answer to it.
