another thing
Another reason one might want to consider the all-in with AK is the fact that it eliminates us misplaying it post-flop. Personally, I find AK a hard hand for me to play post-flop. I found myself crippling or eliminating myself with it a lot - sometimes through overplaying it, sometimes get outdrawn on, etc. So, i thought - why not just take all the post flop out of it?
Assume for a minute we are about as half as good as we think we are - i can almost guarantee that most of us will at least somewhat misplay AK post flop from time to time.
And when i (or Don) say "I go all-in with AK all the time", its "all the time". Doesnt matter what pot size or etc. Now, again, the first few rounds i dont do that when the blinds are low.
