    In Response to Re: whats the big deal with AK : lol - can't argue with that! Certainly, if you're playing <50bbs, you should always be prepared to put all your chips across the line with AK.

    Why? If you're able to dominate the table and maneouvre at your convenience, why risk it on a coin flip?

    See Tikay's earlier post.  If you factor in fold equity, you're significantly better than 50/50.

    Also, what's wrong with flipping?  It's tournament poker, innit...  So, in the words of the Bullseye studio audience, GAMBLE!!!

    James, did you have a view on my post, with the all-in (10BB), smooth call (big stack) and me sat in the BB with AK? 

    Is this the one time where AK late in a tourney where you need to be über wary? Or just get in there?

    Thanks, Dan

    so last night decided to have a night off from sky and play a 6300 runner tourney i had AK once the whole time admittedly... i did go all in after the action folding round to me as i had a set my self a tight rock-ish image on the table the guy next to act happened to wake up with QQ i'll admit i binked an A on the river which is not necessary right now but i didnt feel comfortable shoving with it but knew that some way or another if i put in a raise im going to end up getting it in anyways.

    but as shown in this thread everyone has different opinions on AK and how they play it which is what i was trying to get how many people go all the way with AK and how many literally just see it how i do 9/10 just A high with a strong kicker

    thanks for everyone posting in here lots of different and similar opinions which is good ofc as everyone has different ways of playing certain hands

    needless to say i ended 52nd out of the 6300 went out to yep you guessed it AK lol
