Stupidest poker strategy/statements ever heard...
Most of us can agree that you learn this game primarily at the tables. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to find a knowledgeable player who will "mentor" us about our games and what to do in certain situations. However, for every poker Buddha one might encounter, it seems as though there are at least three yahoos who make outrageous claims regarding probability, starting hand requirements, and general poker theory.
So, I would like to hear from everyone about the funniest/stupidest bits of strategy you've ever heard at a poker table.
One of mine are the people who refuse to play AK. AK is not as good a hand as some seem to think, but it's not so bad as to be folded preflop no matter the situation. Yet, I have run into people who swear up and down that they fold it preflop. One guy even told me that he believes KQ to be a better hand than AK.
