How do you play King-Ace preflop?

Do you "raise it up"?

Or do you smooth-call with the hope of flopping a King or an Ace, and trapping the opponent?

One alternative thought is that there is no absolute correct way to play King-Ace, but that keeping your opponents off balance is important.

I normally raise it but sometimes I fold it depending if I feel lucky or not. Poker is just gambling after all.

I always call it AK and never call it king ace..

The king ace is the ace of spades imo

Well, lets see. Is your opponent loose or tight? Is the table active? What position are you in? Need more info please sir.

GTO is to fold pre obv because most of the time you don't flop a pair

I read in a poker book that you only flop a pair about 33% of the time, so I fold every hand at least 67% of the time just to be safe
