Default Dueces are Better

AK is a good starting hand, but it is a drawing hand. Rarely does AK stand up as a high card winner. You have to hit something or bet players out of the hand.

As to the hand example, you raised 450 and were re-raised 1500, then went all-in. Did you consider folding to the re-raise, or was it an auto all-in due to the hand being AK? You had more than 4000 left, you were not pot committed. A re-raise could mean your AK is beaten.

As for what really happened, you did get the money in with the best of it and lost. In the long run, those types of decisions will pay off.

Keep playing a winning style, do not let lucky Donks and Fish change your winning ways.
