Ace king looks a lot better before the flop lol
I know ace king is a premium starting hand, but recently it’s seemed a lot better before the flop than after. In my last 3 sessions I got AK 7 times, 5 offsuit and 2 suited. I got action on 6 and only won 1 at showdown. Twice I c-bet and got called down on low boards, once I 4-bet and missed completely, and once I flopped top pair and still got stacked by two pair. Does anyone else find AK awkward to play live unless stacks are around 25 to 35bb? What do you do with it when you’re deep! thanks

seven hands is nothing imo, you can run hot or cold on a sample that small and offsuit ak misses the flop like 2/3 of the time anyway thats just math. deep i still raise it preflop cause its a premium hand but im not auto stacking off when i flop top pair on a low or connected board and someones calling me down. c bet the dry boards, pot control or check back the wet ones, and if they keep calling and the board hits their range you gotta be able to fold ace high at showdown.
the times you got stacked thats just the bad side of the hand showing up
