Going broke with AK (assuming the money went in preflop) when you have a below average stack and "only" 20 BB, in your example, is nothing to be ashamed of.
At least I don't think so. I didn't see how the hand went down of course - you certainly COULD have overplayed it - but sometimes your run into KK. You can't sit around and wait for Aces all day though. I like to avoid big pots, but sometimes you just need to get your money in. |

Agreed, you tighten up your starting hand requirements, but when you hit a K with AK and run into KK, well that's just tough luck. No way you should get away from that hand if your stack is that small. If your stack is below average at that point TPTK is usually worth shoving in your stack in most situations.

hmm, cant find the hand history but basicly UTG raised to about 3x BB then guy to his left called, then i went all in and UTG called and so did the other guy (who had a big stack). UTG flipped over AQ, other guy flipped KK, and i flipped AK. He eliminated both of us.
