going all in with ak

[bouks00]

does nyone hate when people go all in with ak i do. Not like you have the best hand going all in with

[portunen]

yes exspecially after the flop when they dont hit but then you lose on the turn or river to a ace...whllie holding pocket queens

[puzzykat]

i'm guilty of overplaying ak especially near the bubble.  avoid it beginning  of tourny...to easy to lose with it.

[marshMELLOman]

i dont think there is anything wrong with it in late position to pick up all the blinds and antes and if someone cals with QQ your not that bad off so worth it =} sounds like you got beat with the best hand  sorry!!!!

[0mishu]

Yup, good hand AK , must be played all the time, except the moments u have to call someone who goes all in all the time, no matter the cards

[roneill33]

people think AK is really really good even better than pocket Qs, i dont think its that good of a hand, i hate it when people go all in with it

[jimmyrestant]

I dont like AK allin preflop cause its not a real hand.But sometimes you cant help it.

[marshMELLOman]

OK  now if everyone limps and you are last or late position and you have AK you would have to belive that you have the best hand and if someone calls you, then they shoulda raised instead of limp so if the QQ or JJ that callls AK pre flop loses its their own fault for not raising. with that being said i dont belive I could move all inn preflop after a raise!!  but only call

[underdog140]

ak if you are short stacked  in most cases is the right thing to do is go all in , i would say.Its a good hand to have against any other hand unless the other  hand is kk or aa  rather go all in with it than call an all in

[j0sh1ngU]

Its a good raising hand, but it must be noted that its not a pocket pair. and therefore depending on chip stack is not worth going all in with. i lost 55 against AK after a 4x reraise all in. after reraised 4x bb. caught king first card for a tough loss

[jmk4476]

if ur final table in a money tournament this is a monster hand, any pro will all in this in a second. At final tables any played hand usually ends being HU, in which case this hand is a good fav against anything excpet a high PP..good pocket pairs are pretty rare and u cant wait for them in tourneys when ur in the money or ur stack wil be blinded away, of course stack size has an effect, against a short stack even 2 short stacks its a no brainer, against an equal stack ud have to consider position and prior play..

early in a tourney this is a raising hand, all in with anything early in a tourney is stupid as either u will get no action or get BadBeat, only time an all in is decent move is on loose table (like a freeroll) since u really want HU with PP to get good odds

Best card hand but any pair is ahead of A K.   Play them last night and lost with them.

AK kills me all the time when I get it.  Annoys me to know end.
