If I always lose with a hand I don’t play it!

My losing hand is KJ!

AK is a tricky hand, some say Anna Kournikova, looks nice but not always the best.

It all depends on the situation, it is important to take into account such factors as the format of the tournament, the stage of the tournament, the number of players at the table, your position, the size of your stack, the size of your opponents‘ stack, the individual characteristics of your opponents’ game. If you're looking for a simple answer to your question, I can honestly tell you that there are no simple solutions, each situation has its own characteristics and factors that need to be taken into account.

You're winding yourself up, dude. Distance will give it all back to your AK.

Whenever I get AK I raise a lot pre flop or I go all in depending on how the tournament is going. Most of the time I win

We all have the probability of losing even with AA, the question here is... do you know how to play a hand with AK? I don't think so.

Of course sometimes I win and sometimes I lose with AK.
But in tournaments, I raise all in with AK, only when the blinds are very hight. So if a player calls me, he's not calling with a garbage hand.

In cash games Big Slick is basically a drawing hand. With benefits. Nothing more, nothing less

AK is good when you get it right, it becomes very strong, but if you don't get it right, you have to learn to let go, many people can't.

You are exaggerating. You can't always lose, it's just not possible. But maybe there are some gaps in your game. You need to analyse your game, or have one of the experienced players help you analyse your hands. I think there are such experienced players in our community, and if you are ready to post specific situations, most of us will be happy to take part in this discussion.

It all depends on the situation at hand. Make sure you take a variety of factors into consideration.
