why do you like AKs in limit? I prefer AA in limit cause youve already got something, whereas with AKs your only drawing to something.

because in NL, you bet big and try to get them all in preflop with pocket aces. with AKs, you're at best a coinflip or badly dominated. when the flop comes, you either try and buy the pot, or you just check fold when you miss.
in limit, when you raise preflop with AA, the pot is so big you generally commit yourself to a showdown, even when it's painfully obvious from the board that you've been outdrawn. yet you still bet or call until the end because your hand is too good to fold and your opponents could have anything.
with AK you can get away from the flop if you don't hit, or if you're in position you get take free cards and free showdowns.
this tends to make AA and AKs win just as much, but you can get away from AK sooner than with AA, saving bets.
