$10NL. I raised the standard 4xBB when limped to me in MP w/ AKo. Folded round to SB, who pushed for $11.30 making it HU. I had about $10 behind me. SB's stats were 20.9/5.6/1.55. I folded. I put him on AA-KK or maybe QQ. If I'd had AKs I prolly would have called...

Good? Bad? When r u likely to go AI PF w/ AK?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Fold.
AK is for raising, not for calling.
Villain's possible range
1)pocket pair 22-QQ, you're 50-50
2) AQ,KQ etc, you're way ahead (but villain has PFR of 5, so not gonna happen)
3) AK you're splitting
4) AA, KK you're way behind.

For an almost tight player who isn't very aggressive you got to be thinking AA/KK if they 3-bet push pre-flop
I fold AKs as well. It's not that much better than AKo, flush chances are slim.
