Hey guys.

I'm new here and new to poker in general. I started playing some cashgame (NL2 Fullring) on iPoker and after about 2.5k hands I'm down 7$. Actually I was down 4$ after 1k hands and slowly grinded myself back to breakeven in the next 500 hands. Then I played a rather long session today and lost 7$ (I lost 5$ with AK preflop and after that, i tilted pretty hard).

Do you ever fold AK preflop on NL2?
