    Reminds me of how I used to play AK when I first started 12 months ago. It's the nuts, even if you don't make a hand...

    Something else I see all the time which is part of this business.............

    Many players automatically put you on AQ/AK when the board comes rags and try to move you off, or are ready to go for their whole stack, when the money is deep, facing a board such as Txx or 9xx in a raised pot when all they have is top pair-it never seems to occur to them that you might actually have something!!
