Default Re: 1/2 AK gets 4 bet

And it's worth bringing up this thought from tournament poker. I forget the article but I read it years ago from a math guy on pokerpages:

If you had 10 BB at the final table and someone who covers you shoves preflop, which would you rather have, TT or AKo, and why?

The answer is AKo by a lot, because AKo is almost always either 70/30 ahead or 50/50, and very rarely dominated. TT is sometimes 80/20 ahead, frequently 50/50, and sometimes 80/20 behind.
