    AK is a good hand especialy suited....its a tier 2 hand....right behind AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT,99.....its also the best drawing hand...on Carbon poker i tend to play AK super strong...now i do this...because its a profitable play most of the time...people on carbon over play QQ,JJ,AQ, and AJ.....also 90% of the time your opponet isnt goin to have AA or KK...overall preflop i beleive you play AK pretty agressive and most of the time even if you get re-raised your getting pot odds and implied odds

    AK is an excellent starting hand, but it certainly does get over played and over bet.

    i have to agree with you on this for the most, it seems on merge everyone is following this method, m qq, kk and jj get cream by ak alot so now i learn to fold some of those hands..

Theres no way to call anything after a higher card hits the flop(unless ur live and have a helluva read) and odds are higher cards will hit the flop. I know some will disagree but.... look at a hand rank guide.

    please share why you think he is wrong ...

    I think he is pretty correct on this one. 22 vs ak ... the 2's are about 52/48 favorite if its heads up and it gets the river (key word is IF). Hard to take 22 all the way to the river if you get any heat. Say a flop comes 5 J Q rainbow ... someone leads out with a decent sized bet ... would you rather call that bet with 22 or AK?

    AK's the shit, and deuces are shit. I don't care about the 52/48. You have a 4% chance of hitting a set on flop, and if not you are going to fold to any bet b4u right?

    he said that the ak is a favorite which it isnt, its about exactly 50 50

    AK is the 14th best starting hand preflop so just remember that. I dont know how many times ive seen idiots blow big stacks cuz they either call a big preflop all in or shove with AK. Unless your short you shouldnt shove with AK. Only exception I see would be a bounty tourney because then at least there is something at stake. In a regular tourney they are long and 1 hand wont win it but it can lose it for you.
