that point was not missed, it was meaningless. suppose i have AKs and my opponent has 78s of the same suit. flop comes 456 same suit and i go broke. or suppose i have AKo and flop comes KK4 and my opponent has K4 and i go broke. you see what i'm getting at?

it's meaningless suppositions. anything can and will happen, of course your going to lose some hands and I'm not going bet crazy with TPTK as in the A86 example. Why would I? Someone shows big strength sometimes you just have to give them credit for having a hand. Deep stacks actually give you more maneuverability and allows you to be patient enough in your hand selection, especially against the DONKS.
AK is and always will be a valued hand, can you get away from it, when another player shows strength is the real question.
