Hello,

I have a general question about getting your money all-in with AK heads-up preflop.

So far, I have been playing AK to see the flop, and then being v careful if I don't hit an A or K. However, I was watching a strategy vid the other night and the commentator said that too many people were too careful with AK and it was definitely +EV to go all-in heads up preflop as you want to see all 5 cards with this hand.

Occasionaly you may run into pocket Kings or Aces, but that even though this play is high variance, it is +EV and should be done whenever possible.

Is this the accepted view? If you don't hit a pair, all you have is ace high - surely you'll be losing money more often than not?
