OP, I think you underestimate how many people raise PF with any Ace from any position and how many of them see a flop after a reraise.

Premium hands are pretty easy to play, there are no hard decisions involved and I don`t think that overanalyzing clear situations helps your game.
Most of the hard decisions in poker come from marginal situations with marginal hands.
That`s the time when skills, reads and experience lead you to the right decisions.

I have a good idea of why so many people find AK a difficult hand to play but I don`t feel like making a huge post so I`ll just skip that part for now. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
