Default Re: true that you should to keep the pot small with AK?

When you are deep stacked, the general philosophy is "yes." Unless you are going to be raising huge with many hands PF (and thus artificially raising the blinds), then you raising big PF tells your opponent exactly what you have (AA/AK/KK/QQ) when you hold a hand that is easily beaten (you only flop something 1/3 times). This is pretty bad, because it lets your opponent only play a large pot when they have a hand that beats you (99, floppoed flush).

Default Re: true that you should to keep the pot small with AK?

so, if it was folded to Hero in this example he should only have limped? or does this filosophy only go when there already have been a raise?

I should still raise my AK/AQ/AJ when i'm opening the pot? how about when there has been limpers but no raises?

sory if theese questions are elementary, but i've only played limit and tournament. And then i'm always raising my good hands.
