Folding AK pre-flop

[JJNJustin]

In limit hold'em, is it ever correct to fold AKo or AKs pre-flop? If so, when, why or why not?

SSH says in a tight game you should fold AKo to 3bet.

Just adding that this would be a raise and re-raise in front of you. If you raise AK and someone 3-bets I can't see it being correct to fold.

I won't even fold it to a 3 bet to be honest with you, maybe against very tight raisers in early position in a full ring game...

Agreed. I fold to a cap most of the time, though.

I play SH - AK is the nuts on every street.

I've folded AKo 2x PF, both live, once when I opened, it was 3 bet and capped, w/ 2 coldcallers behind them. Then when it was raised and 3-bet in front of me by 2 tight unimaginative players. I think that I would have seen the flop if it was suited.

So yeah, it can be correct, but not very often.

I would never fold AKs even too a cap, but AKo depending on game situation.

[TheGunner]

SH I never fold AKo.

I fold it with a 3-bet with cold caller in front of me or if it is capped in front of me
