Default Re: Playing AK from Early Position

"You should have run your sims against all sorts of tables to see how the EV changes (relatively) with the table. In general, I don't trust TTH for helping me to determine the "better" or "worse" plays. "

I specifically ran some of my simulations against the tightest and toughest players available in the latest version of TTH because it's obvious to me that against weaker players that will call the UTG raise with less than premium hands I am way better off raising.

The results indicated that against most players you are better off raising both AKo and AKs. However, against the toughtest opponents you are better off raising AKo and limping AKs.

I believe I know why that's the case, but it's hard to prove because I ran millions of hands.

I rarely play on a tough enough table at the micro limits for limping AKs to make sense, but I intend to test this theory out as I move up the ranks.
