AK - facing all in on A high dry board

Man, I know it is hardto fold TPTK, but here he is pushing vs 3. Board is dry and he has a strong hand. I do not think he will do this often with AQ/AJ...
Good fold.

And you do not have to worrie that much about your red line on nl2.

Easy fold, especially 3-ways.

Yes fold here and be happy!:f_drink:

Unless the villain is crazy (like 85/50/12AF) then calling is fine.

I know folding AK when you hit top pair, top kicker is hard, but I think you made a really good fold here. Especially 3 way. But I don't see him shoving without a very strong hand in this spot.

I think it's fine. I would just make it $0,20 preflop since the openner minraised. I would also bet 1/2 on a dry board, especially multi-way where they will play more straight-forward than in HU pots.

Folding seems good here.

Good fold, thebaptist333. Many others would call and draw almost dead vs such strong range that probably is shoving here.

Yes fold
Like I learnt the hard way on this hand you need the k
I went through the stage where u raise the KA and then re raise if raised going into a 4bet it's rubbish u have static ly 68%
Also statically you have given you're hand away by doing that
I played them different before I studied the article and made money by folding them ug mp
Or just calling bb and seeing how much it would cost too use them
Like they miss big 99 to QQ strips them bad

htghguuh,
I did not understand what do you suggest in your post. Please elaborate.

sorry for delay in reply
Well from outset i use AK pretty much from any position ,and lost loads.Most probably because i played them incorrectly.
Basicly using them and then not reading opponents ranges,or not getting stats on villian.

Then i was folding them UG to mp this( is on 6max table. micro) and calling into or using them to steal the blinds.
This seemed to work well enough and got a bit off profit,not a lot.
Then i watched a video on how to make the most out off your AK.
I applied this strategy and it worked pretty well ,especially the 3xbb from UG MP,get the folds or called and win.
The re-raise from cu to bb was a disaster every time the AK missed and board was dry,and got called down with pocket pairs.
A6 winning with 6 and so on,and even iff i got A K on the flop got outdrawn with full house 33 -AA. or opponents chasing flush draws.
thus taking all the small gains,and putting them back on loss.
This could most probably be mistake on my behalve on latching onto them and not letting go.
Im not saying the video tuition is wrong ,but by many losses on them i use them with caution now.
I could also be wrong here again because i lpay the same site so people have notes etc ,That is why i say the 3xbb from ug mp is giving the hand away.
SO ME I DONT KNOW?????

Man, AK is in top 2-3% of hands. You SHOULD play them.
Of course you should be cautious postflop when you missed, but still it is a very strong hand.

I think u are focusing too much about being outdrawed vs an A6, pp and these stuff when they actually happen too little. For me, what is possible is that u bet when hit ur A or K, but never folds vs aggression (massive leak). If a guy is passive and raises u posflop or the action goes crazy, ur TPTK hand is no good anymore and u should give up.
Just by doing that AK should show profit already.

AK is a difficult hand to play. It wins, but doesn't win as much as it should for many players. Search the video section for "Playing AK" and you will find some goodies.
