Re: AK in early position

If you are truly confident you can get it HU OR take the blinds then theres nothing wrong with raising there. Theres nothing 'wrong' with raising with JJ at all tbh, its just it creates a lot of difficult situations and all directly resulting from the fact that you raised it preflop. I just like to keep things as simple as I can if I can help it. Half the time or more you raise with JJ you will be faced with a tough decision on the flop I would say.

You HAVE to raise with QQ though even if you feel like you dont like it. It really does figure to be the best hand and importantly probably only about 1/3 of the time will there be an A or K on the flop so the majority of the time youll still be feeling comfortable with QQ post flop.
