You're behind AK though, or am I misreading something here?..
yeah but typically shorties will look to play ak aggressively preflop

so if a shorty "slowplays" ak then spikes the 2-outer that allows me to double him up, GG. Lots of the time though this is a weaker ace and the shorty's like "ZOMG TOP PAIR AW IN" so I'll usually take AQ to war in a hand like this.

edit : oh I see why my post was misleading. When I said "ready to go to war" I should have specified that I meant getting it in before the flop...
