Sorry, Miffed, I' not quite getting you. Why is it a big leak to limp AK? I mean, especially at a table where people will call or raise with most anything. Besides, I did re-raise the flop, no?
Miffed didn't mention limping. But I also disagree with not playing AK like a big pocker pair- at least preflop. It's a great hand to add deception to your raising spectrum, it's easy to get away from after the flop, and I find it a good hand to go all in with when my chips are short since I get to go to the river without caring about the flop.
One thing I've noticed from the group that I play regularly with at a pub game is that they believe AK is the end-all be-all and will go all the way with it. Apparently they watch too much televised poker. Tonight alone there were 5 AK hands that played out to the river and AK lost 3 and sucked out twice on the river.
When you are in a pot with more than one caller and miss the flop you are most likely playing catch up from that point foward. Even if you hit one of your cards you might be behind two pair.
