AK = shove every time?

(Don't even know if this is the right spot to post, maybe instead in Main Poker forum?)

The reasoning is cause you're at worst a flip against all but AA/KK?
When is the right time to take flips? I think I'm not placing as well as I could in tournaments because I am taking flips with high cards like AK at the wrong time, or maybe I just suck at flipping.
I make in the money quite often enough, but I almost never finish deep, and I really believe it's cause I don't know when to take my flips.

Advice to an aspiring donkament donkey?

The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.

when you push AK you aren't taking a flip, because your opponent may have a hand that you have dominated

when u talk about shove > call you gotta atleast think about the fold equity and how much that wins you compared to check folding dry flops

anyway its not always a shove cause you can be deep in the earlier levels of a tournament, but later on it has to be rare not shoving KA

People shove lots of crap in tournaments to steal blinds/ante which is why AK is cool to shove in tournies rather compared to cash games, people shove any ace, KQ/KJ/KT/QJ etc.

depends how many big blinds you have sir

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the sameLast edit: 02/10/2008 23:15

There really isn't a set anser to this question because it depends on the situation and a bunch of different factors.
