AK = Annoying Kards

What is wrong with you?

Why do you think OP keeps running into Kings? Random bad luck?

You're in the third hour of a tournament. Many of the donks (like yourself) have been weeded out. Good players aren't calling behind with 22 for set value any more. The blinds and antes are too high.

It takes a stronger hand to call than to raise.

Go away, learn something about poker, then start posting again. Or not, I hope.

When CSC, who I always used to think played too tight (or at least advocated play I felt was too risk-averse), is saying this raise with AK is standard...then, well, you had best believe a raise is the best play.
