I raise with AK from any position (and ill reraise in alot of 10NL games). On the flop work out who you are up against. Are they nutcamping, sethunters or are they loose/passive fish. I usually bet out whether I hit or not at tight tables (but not always). At very loose tables I will not bother to bet out unless I have hit. If you hit you have TPTK so play it hard until an obvious draw completes or someone who isnt a maniac raises you big.

In late position I often like to take free showdowns with TPTK type hands because alot of the time you will be against someone who has either missed a draw against you, or is beating you. This doesnt apply to all opponents.

Im quite happy being called with TPTK by most players, but I will often fold it when I am raised.


Post lots of TPTK hands for specific details.
