Folding Ak
Just curious if it's ever the correct play to fold AK to a raise. For example if an EXTREMELY tight player raises preflop and your almost positive they have either AA or KK. It seems that you'd be less behind with 22 at this point. Any feedback apreciated. Thanks.

Re: Folding Ak
In limit? Nooooooo.......
In no limit it depends on the situation, but ill almost always call and play a flop. By the way, what player only raises with AA or KK? If they're that tight, they probably wont raise with anything.

Re: Folding Ak
In limit, it is rarely right to fold AK preflop. An example would be if an extremely tight player raised in front of you. Another example is if you are playing in a game that is usually passive, but there is a raise, a reraise, and a cap in front of you. In these situations, it may be right to fold AK.
In NL, it can be right to fold AK to a single, large raise. It is usually right to fold AK if there is a substantial raise and a reraise in front of you. In tournament play, there may be reasons to fold stronger hands than AK, though the correct play in tournaments usually coincides with the play that wins the most chips.

if I have AK, the odds are slim (not zero, but slim) that someone has AA or KK. [/ QUOTE ] This is a very important point. There are as six combinations to make another pocket pair, say queens. But because one ace and one king are "dead" in your hand, there are only three combinations to make aces or kings. It's unlikely that you could know with certainly that a player will raise AA or KK but not QQ. If in doubt, err on the side of hanging onto Big Slick. That said, today i made a huge mistake of calling a flop all-in bet by a set of aces with AK.
