Default Re: Why am I losing with AK?

[ QUOTE ]
you don't want to be calling a bet with AK if there are many callers. it makes it all the more likely that hitting an ace will give someone else aces up,

Can you please explain your reasoning behind this?

At low stakes, people play any ace, often for a raise. If somebody bets or calls a bet on the flop, there's a good chance they have Ax where x is something on the board. You have entered reverse-dominated land at this point and an ace falling will make your hand look good (TPTK) but in fact be drawing fairly slim.
