Default Re: Playing AK from Early Position

[ QUOTE ]
This question has nothing to do with the limits I am playing at these days or my results on the table. I always raise and I am burying my opponents. So I must be playing the hands well.

I am thinking that my strategy may not be optimal against better opponents that usually only call my UTG raise with premium pairs etc... because it gets me heads up when I am behind way too often. The limp would get me into multi way pot with just as much money in the hand. I would often have those guys dominated but they wouldn't know it because I limped. So they pay me off all the way.

the problem with this line of thought is that when a solid player decides to play back at you it is vastly more likely he has 99-QQ, AQ, or AJ than exactly AA or KK (or AK). so it's not really the end of the world. and most of the time overall, the solid players will fold and you take the blinds. yeehaw. free blinds!
