$22: Abandoning AKo at 10/15 in early position
After checking Pokertracker recently I noticed that AKo was minimally profitable at this level. It seems like you either win a little when either the A or K hits or when it misses on the flop. Otherwise your continuation bet gets raised and you have to throw up the hand when you miss and are sometimes behind when the A or K does hit (screwball two pairs, sets, etc.). Out of position it is especially a problem as when you whiff and the late position player calls. A turn check will virtually always bring about a bet from the other player. Couple all this with minimal antes to win initially. Yes I'm rambling, but what others thoughts and experiences are about this idea.

Exactly how minimally profitable has it been for you in BB per hand?

.19
Two caveats: Only 97 instances at that level (I realize way too few) This is unpartitioned (across all positions) |

How much do you raise in EP?

I'm pretty sure he means "what amount do you raise in EP?"

TY. I didn't realize that. Just checked:
First 4: +.12 First 3: -.11 |

In the first lvl (blinds 10/15, party) I've had AKo 17 times in the first 3 positions after the blinds (UTG, UTG+1 and UTG+2).
Chips won: t2760. Average pr hand: t162. Very small samplesize. Actually not useful at all. |

Yeah, small sample size. But, hey, you earned about 11 BB per hand! Not too shabby.
However, let's assume you hit you A or K the next two hands and go or are put all-in and lose both hands to river suck-outs. Then you are back to 0. Variance! |
