yeah....the more you play the more you realize how rough A-K can be....for some reason players always think they have something when they really dont....and they are usually so reluctant to let it go.
i say....don't be afraid to fold A-K.
the only time i really like that hand is if you're stack is dwindling down....its a good hand to go all in with.....or at least i dont feel bad going out with it at that point.
AK is a nice hand to go all in with when your stack is dwindling. It is also a nice hand to try and steal a pot. However, you need to know when to fold it too.
AK is one of my favorite hands because if you raise big preflop and get called then hit the flop, you pick up some value... if you raise big and the table folds, the flop could have been air anyway, and if you miss the flop, you're in good position to bluff. however, I always seem to get screwed with AQ lol.
Easy answer here for sure, even though any hand can get busted, is A A; however, I have an array of hands that maybe I play well timed or maybe they just come through with luck, but those are A Q (suited and os), and also 8 10 suited. A K is a nice hand, but you have to know how and when to play it and when to fold it. Good luck on the tables.
