    Hello! We need Your help! Faced with such a difficult situation, when thy hands finally passed these cherished AK :Ac: :Kh: . But there is this question: "How to properly play?". On the one hand, in order not to frighten the opponent, and on the other, so that the opponent could not guess what You have on hand?

    Depends on stack sizes/position etc. If you have 20bbs or less I would go ahead and jam it preflop. Obv standard 3x raise in in any other case, and usually always 3bet with it if facing a raise in front. Would never limp with ak.

    How do you drive a car?

    "It depends" - parking lot, busy highway, rush hour, low on gas, in front of a cop car?

    Need much more info to answer such a simple question, please provide if you desire, thanks

    I probably play it differently each time. I believe I have lost more money on that hand than any others.

    As stated few times above in these replies that question can't be correctly replied to in the way you presented the question! I'm assuming you are new player. Provide the specific situations on posts above & you will no doubt receive a proper response. I'll check your post later & if none has replied with an answer you can understand I will leave my post. Thanks

    Yeah one of the better debates, but you'd need abit more info to begin to answer this. No hand is ever a set-in-stone right or wrong way to be played; IMHO. However please don't get me wrong because I do believe there's a big difference between 'possible' and 'probable' ...
    With that said, maybe give me a little more to go on ...

    yeah way to light on info to give a play by play but early poistion never limp thats just bad bad play in the cutoff depends are the players to act nits or super aggressive a basic stratergy if you really wanna be that tricky ricky limp then 3 bet a raise if you big stack into small stack raiser then ship it (maybe?) if you wanna get payed(maybe!)then limp and flate any raise cross ya fingers and hope to flop the world then its check flat check flat check jam but if the flop gives you smacking then you gotta lay down big slick and move on dont be one of them go0ses that flats all the way with 2 overs and nothing but a dented stack when you gotta muck the river
