Re: \"Putting your tourney life on the line\" is the new \"AK is a drawing ha
I can't believe I'm even taking the time to post on this subject, but here goes...
The most common pattern for poker hands (more so in limit than in no-limit, but common there, too) is where one guy has the better hand (the "made hand") and the other guy has the hand that needs some help (the "drawing hand"). Whether AK is the "made hand" or the "drawing hand" purely depends on what your opponent has. If he has AJ, AK is a made hand. You don't need to hit anything to beat him. He's drawing. If your opponent has 44, AK is a "drawing hand," but only for that hand. The very next hand you could be up against AQ and AK wouldn't be a drawing hand.
Poker is a game of incomplete information. AK isn't completely a drawing hand, but it isn't completely not one.
And to my opponents... Keep folding it.
