Why A-K sucks

Page 88 ToP:"When your trying to decide whether or not to bet your hand and worry about making a mistake - a mistake that costs you the pot is a catastrophe, especially if the pot has become relatively large, while a mistake that costs you one bet is not. When in doubt make sure you don't make a mistake that costs you the pot. Checking and giving an opponent with a WORSE HAND a free card may cost you the pot when he outdraws you."

1) Please don't misquote or "I think" when all that happens is you confuse concepts and make matters even worse.
2) Bet the flop, AK is not always a drawing hand - and was best until it was rivered at a discount but not a "slowplay" hand.
