Default Re: AKs 5-10 6max -- Is This ALWAYS Wrong?

[ QUOTE ]
Sure those hands are possibilities but most would cap preflop with JJ or AKs, and far from everybody raises 55 UTG. But ok you are right, have to consider those against some players.

Not sure what sort of opponents you normally play against, but probably a third of the players I see wouldn't cap with AKs. Some think they are slow-playing and trapping or want to encourage someone to call behind them, while others are afraid of being against a big pair. I have run across a few players whose three-betting range seemed to be AA/KK and an occasional suited or connecting hand when trying to make a move on someone (which, for some reason, they like to do out of the small blind). There are also some who won't cap with AA or KK because they think they are being deceptive, so against certain opponents, those are possible hands.
