Re: Don\'t raise AK preflop, ever acceptable?
Holy crap, it's pretty simple. Here's what to do in your average loose-passive game.
Raise 4BB + 1BB/limper preflop in an unraised pot, or you can make it 5BB or 6BB+ if you keep getting callers. Why? 2 reasons that I know of. 1)To get it down to HU or 3way at worst. 2) For value. C-bet every flop but Do not C-bet in 3way pots that are drawy or in any pots that have 4 or more players. Unless you hit LDO. Double barrel if you think your opponent is the type that "calls flop and folds turn." And go from there.
I recommend to keep C-betting in HU flops even if you missing and they keep calling because it gives you an aggro image to the donkeys.
Also, in these games you should be raising any PP or suited connector like you would with AK.
