after we get 4bet by a nit? yes.
OK, so when villain's doing that with QQ and AK we blow him away. Our shove with our AK will blow away his QQ and his AK. We also chop the AA/KK combos to a total of 6 only.
A great majority of live No Limit Hold'em players even some small winning players play AK far too weakly. Most of them think the AK is a drawing hand, therefore they only call raises to hit the flop or fold after the flop if they missed. Playing AK this way guaranty the lowest earn possible for the hand. The lack of
reciprocal edge by playing AK softly alone demonstrates why we should no play AK softly. If we play AK in a defensive manner rather than offensive, then our hand playing is basically really weak which breads an entirely weak overall game plan. Our entire game is weak and obviously we become weaker and weaker player as time goes by.
What you got to do is watch how the rest of table plays AK and if you observe they play it weak the way I described, you immediately start play it very aggressive to capitalize on the "
reciprocal edge". You understand what
reciprocal edge is? Right? I hope you do.
Eample of
reciprocal edge
If you and another dude have AK and he's playing it as a drawing hand where he's looking to hit the flop before putting more bets or check/fold. - And you play it to demolish the weak players the way I described using 4! + shove preflop. Guess what? You will be making the most money.
