How to Play Ace-King in No-Limit Texas Hold'em
Ace-King, the Big Slick, is a big starting hand in No-Limit Texas Hold'em but it is still a drawing hand. It is a difficult hand to play and for many players, AK is often a big money loser in the long run. In fact, for this reason, some players don't play Ace-King at all.
Generally speaking I seldom play cash Hold 'Em, and then only a tiny bit of limit. The problem with AK is that most of the donkeys NEVER fold an ace. If you raise pre-flop with AK and flop an ace with two callers you can bet one of them will have an ace, possibly both, and the chances are you are beat already. You can have a raise and three all-ins in, yet the donkey on the end willl call with ace rag, and if he hits the flop, or even if he doesn't he will chase, chase, chase, and at the end will call just to keep you honest. |
