What a great topic, with plenty of hilarious replies.
I think it comes down to this: Whoever thinks AKs is better than AA has got to learn to play their aces better. If you are making more money with big slick than with aces, you should examine your hand histories. AA is not only the better hand statistically, but AA should be making you plenty more ROI in the long run. You've got to know when to dump it. If you are on the river still betting or calling against 2 or more opponents with no help on the board, that is a leak. Learn to fold your rockets at the right times.
That said, I think it is not impossible at micro nl limit tables that maybe AKs is *easier* and *safer* to make a profit on simply because no one respects big preflop raises at micro tables (in my limited 1.5k hands of experience thus far at nl micros on UB). With AA if you throw in a 5xBB raise and still expect 4 or 5 people call, you are throwing money away. (albeit ten cents!)Figure out how to get it down to only 1 or 2 players.
At micro's, a preflop all in might work. At least, it did for me last night. I put in a .10 raise, got re-raised to .20, and I just re-raised all in. You would think the guy would get the point, but nope. He called and showed AJ. lol.
