AK troubles
I was reviewing my stats from the last month and noticed im losing with AK. Are hands like these standard?

I dont tend to lose much when i dont hit anything or even with top pair, but im still losing. Just trying to find small leaks also @ the ludacris bet sizes, please note people to act had small stacks, so i wasnt really betting my whole stack on an 85 cent raise also again, i didnt have results posted, Hand 2 was JJ for villian, hand 3 was 33, hand 4 was AQ |

Re: AK troubles
IMO
Seems like you like variance. I'm not a big fan of the pushing with AK, I know it's micro and you get calls for races, but you're still behind in those races. I'm just not sure if the calls you get from AQ,AJ is enough to give you a +ev. Why not make a reasonable 3 bet and play post flop. It's micro if they don't hit, a continuation bet takes it down alot. |

Re: AK troubles
I like all the hands except the last one. Pushing AK against short stacks is correct. In the last hand, villian was a fully stacked. I would just call here and play poker in position. If you had played that way, the turn would be real scary. I would then behind on the turn. After villian would have called your flop bet/raise, I can't see a hand that he would still be around with that you beat. The river would be tough.

Re: AK troubles
you can c/f the flop in hand 1, no one's ever folding on that flop in a 3bet pot

Re: AK troubles
Hand 1: who do you think is gonna fold to your cbet? It's 3-betted preflop...
Last hand: I'd call in that spot and shuv any A or K on the flop. |
