If it is real early you want to have a good pot to take it down.
I think that there is two ways to play it. Either way you want to hit on the flop
1. You BET THE POT or very close to it. This way if you get callers you got a good pot if you hit and often you take someones stack if they want to continue playing because they also like the pot.
2. You just limp leaving the others guessing what you have and disguising your hand. You are last to act evrey time and with AK that is like sitting in the drivers seat. You decide where they all go.
If you don't hit on the flop You still get a chance of seeing the turn cheaply so that is why I would raise 80% and call 20%. On party you don't have to worrie on getting paid off and people knowing your play.
When others still seem very eager to play I would lay it down after the flop. It is only AK and nothing but high card if you don't flop.
On sites where you play with regulars more I would make it 70-30.Statistics: Posted by tommyhawk — Wed Mar 22, 2006 2:45 pm
