Default Re: Laying AK Down Preflop

[ QUOTE ]
This is a push or fold - calling is terrible - because a decent player is not generally doing that with AQ and even if he is you will be blown off any flop you both miss.

I don't mind either of those. (Of course, this assumes he's decent.)

This is extremely similar to the situation described in HoH v2 on about page 235, the second example. In that example the book tells you to call and fold the flop if it misses you. Why is calling "terrible"? You're not getting good value on your money by shoving all in if the guy has a pocket pair, which seems to be his most likely holding by far.
