Re: Ranking of AK among best starting hands
AK just plays better.
You can reraise with Ak from any position, you can shove AK because you know it's at least a coin flip unless you are up against AA or KK.
You cannot 3barrel 22 with 4 overcards there.
OF COURSE, if you push all in preflop, than 22 wins more. But we are talking about actually playing it postflop.
After about 300k hands in my pt. AK is the 4th best hand after AA, KK and QQ
