I'm still not convinced that calling with AK in the face of multiple large bets is as wise as everyone thinks. Last night I have AhKh in EP. I make it $25. Next guy makes it $100. Next guy calls. Next guy goes all in for $225. Back to me, and I'm facing a situation where I have $400 behind, the two guys after me also have about that much, and do I want to call, ship it or fold?
I get a tell that the guy to my left is strong and is going to ship it. Despite having read the advice here, I fold.
He ships, next guy folds, and two guys are heads up.
Guy to my left has AA. Guy with QQ folded. Guy with TT ends up flopping a set and takes it down.
So maybe this is results oriented, but I don't even have a pair! Why do I want to ship it in the face of strong hands and be behind?
