An A & K is dead yes, but you are raising into 4 opponents, one who is the bring-in, and the others who all have door cards as dead as your hidden cards.

Bear in mind the advantages of raising with AK6 as opposed to 6KA when on a steal. With AK6, if you catch an A or K you're in excellent shape, while with a 6 you're going to take the pot the majority of the time on 4th or 5th. With 6KA, if you catch an A your action dies, if you catch a 6 no-one will care, so you lose steal effectiveness there.

Plus diamonds are totally live. So yes, raise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
