This really annoys the living f*ck out of me. When people cannot fold AK just for the mere fact that it is a very powerful premium hand PREFLOP. BTW, you all were right about the $20s and $30s having a lot of idiots, but this is just beyond stupidity.

I don't think his play is horrible. I'm not a big fan of it, and would personally not do it, but he probably figures he could be drawing to as many as 10 outs twice over, along with some FE on his push.
