Re: Don\'t raise AK preflop, ever acceptable?
[ QUOTE ]
I was wondering if it makes sense to not raise with AK preflop in an extremly loose game. The kind of game where a continuation bet on the flop will almost never take it down. Essentially, if you miss, you're probably going to lose the pot.
Opinions? Is this just results based thinking?

If you are in a loose game that generally sees a raised pot you may consider making a large 3 bet just as you would with AA or KK either in position, from the blinds or an early position limp reraise. This mixes up your play and even in a loose game should ususally get you heads up on the flop where your continuation bet will get more respect.
