Problem here is that it wasn't a 50/50 situation, he had you beat pre-flop. You could certainly win, there are odds that allow that.

With blinds at 350/700 your raise should be to around 2100. If you're short-stacked you stick around with this hand and pray. If you're medium-stacked you can consider a laydown. If the other player has an equal or larger stack than you, you should figure he has either A/K also or a pocket pair, so it's likely you'll either split the pot or lose the pot.

If the player is short-stacked and you can take a stab at them without risking too much of your stack, it's worth a shot.

I have my A/K and A/Q in a tourney both hold up in one of those coin flips, and other times they don't. You can't win em all unfortunately.
