From Jeremiah Hawks
Can you give advice on how to play AK? I am one of those people who hates this hand. It almost never hits and I feel like I just lose money playing it.
1- AK is a premium hand. It is the nut no pair. It removes half the combinations of AA and KK.
2- Play it aggressively. Always open raise and 3b preflop. You want to be heads up. 3 ways at worst.
3- Continuation bet a wide variety of “safe” flops. Big small small unconnected. Medium small small unconnected. And big draws like gutshot to broadway. Nut flush draws. Overs with the backdoor nut flush draw.
4- Keep barreling turn when you hit. When you pick up a card that gives you more outs . Or when a card hits that is in your range.

Most hands are not pairs. Your opponent will miss the flop most of the time. You need to pick up your fair share of the flops when you don’t hit your A or K. Odds are your A high is still the best hand. Playing AK and only hoping you get top pair on the flop is the wrong way to play this hand.
