I agree with Mike's statement

[Struckgold]

Ace King is like a replica gun - you can threaten people with it but if they fight back you may as well be holding a bananna.

The first guy has no idea what he's talking about. The 2nd guy is spot on. You're not only in trouble against just Aces or Kings, it seems like I usually lose against a pocket pair of any kind.

At least 10 times a day some schmuck stacks off to me with A/K. Thanks!

People are here and in the video are making these blanket statements without taking stack size into consideration.

basically the pros disagree here, i'd rather play aces like skalanksy was saying and play ace-king carefully

mike is an idiot.Iv won with ace king many times with a raise and a reraise u can easily be up against ace queen and 10's or something like that.If u fold ace king to a raise and a reraise your playing tight donk losing poker.If you play low levels it can be as little as ace 10 somebody calling there money off with.Matusow played horrible at this years mainevent and he made some jack high flush fold on the flop which was one of the worst plays iv ever seen

Maybe it does not beat a pair of two's...but it is good enough to push out a pair of two's preflop with the proper raise. You have a 1 in three chance of pairing the board with AK, so it is a good hand to shove with unless there is a raise and reraise behindu , as Matusow said.
