IT is true that JJ TT and even lower pairs are at a slight advantage to AK, However this advantage is arrived at by comparison, and one thing that it ignores is this, there is a higher chance that you will be dealt AK than JJ or TT this means when you are holding AK chances are noone is holding these high pairs and that's where the high value of AK comes from. basically you are twice more likely to be dealt AK than TT JJ or even AA.
The problem with AK is that it only pays of when it dominates weaker Ks or As
such as AQ or KQ. now chances are that someone is holding a weaker A around(63%) there will be someone with a weaker ace. as good as this might seem it is in fact problematic, because if chances are people hold weaker A's and K's your chance to hit the flop is diminished. however, what might usually happen is that they hit their weaker pair and beat you bad. This is usually y this card does not hit well on the flop.
It is known that KK QQ not JJ or TT are better than AK however AKs is better than QQ but not KK.
I would suggest to bet hard preflop to get all the A, K rags out and fold if u don't hit on the flop, unless you have a small stack and the blinds are high then go all in, who knows you might steal the pot, afterall you bet hard preflop.  |
