A K = All in pre-flop?????

Yesterday watching some friends playing poker and suddenly i see a raise from the one,other re-raise,other all-in ,and the second follows...

A K the first one, A Q the other, both un-suited if i remember well.

As i have read i very nice phrase that have remained in my mind for so long.

Andrew Glazer writes..."It's best to have to ways to win: with your bet or with your hand.If you call all-in you can only win with your hand."

Very important phrase and it describes exactly the upper situation.

For many players A K, or A Q is like the cards from heaven.
Of course they are nice,but if you don't play with them wisely you may end up quickly out of the game.

So for me,of course play them powerfull but i never push them more than the limits that i set. Don't try to win when you don't have even one chance. If you push your hand there more you just make your opponement happier. Push them but always remember when to stop ;)

Trying my luck now to a satellite for the EPT at copenhagen...:)

That's my 2 cent for today :)
