I think everyone has seen the guy who loses 80% of his stack to a bad play/beat and must say *#$% it, and go AI for the rest of his chips next hand with any 2 cards. And it seems like everyone else automatically assumes this is what is happening and calls with any ace or face cards. This happens more in tournaments and SnGs than cash games but I've seen it happen there too.

So when I lost alot of my stack on a bad play and read, and next hand got AK i decided to just AI figuring SOMEONE would call it and most likely with a much worse hand. Is this a good strategy?

Yes I know this hand is played badly...don't need criticism on it
