Ah uni, maybe that is why we are beginners. I agree that in the long run you want the action, but that opens you up to too many draws that can beat you. In the ultimate world I'd love for everyone to call if I could be guaranteed a winning hand with AK, but that just doesn't happen, especially on FTP where EVERYONE draws out on you. In my preferred situation, I raise high enough that I get 1-2 callers, who then don't draw out on me.

But again, I rarely see my preferred world. Usually some donk with 3-9 off calls and then hits two pair against my aces or kings.
