Sorry, Stone, I misread yours...

mea maxima culpa

I think it really all boils down here to good judgment regarding when to bet the flop and when not to.

Also, a suspicion I have on my AK, where there's a big discrepancy between AKs and AKo. And, just thinking about it, there's really only one AK flop at all that makes me feel super-comfortable, namely the flush draw when I have AKs. I think this is largely because the raiser tends NOT to be put on a flushy type hand.

I have mucked AKo 8.86% of the time (14 times out of 158).

Twice I have raised and then mucked to a re-raise against a rock. The other twelve times were situations where there was a decent raise and at least 1 caller. I generally muck in those situations.

AKs +1.74BB (39 Times)
AK -.83 (82 Times)

NL 25,50,100 Party Ring Games.

I am also going to go through all of my AK off suits on the poker tracker replayer one at a time to see if I can find a pattern to explain this.

Ok, here are my stats on AK


AKs, 33 times, +0.31 PTBB/100
AKo, 134 times, +0.89 PTBB/100

My AK Suited would be higher, but I lost one huge hand with it when someone caught a flush on the river and I made him pay dearly to get there.
