I think the most losses with AK are due to just not being able to let it go..
You should raise with it, even re-raise with it... this will give you information on what your up agaisnt once the flop hits the board... raising should also leave you with 1 or 2 opponents, significantly increasing the chance that your hand is the best.
That is a basic way to look at it... other factors, such as position, chip stacks, et al... type of players...
As long as you don't marry the hand, you can be quite successful with it..
( You shouldn't marry any hand, for that matter ). |
