    Let's break down OP...

    when peopple have an AK they generally raise
    It's a hand, we should JJ is on a par with AKo but I'd rather have AKs. Everything else is worse.

    So if we're facing limps, or opening, then it's a clear call or 5bet.

    some go all in
    This would depend on pre flop with AK is not often going to be -ev.

    but i think that tournament survival should be more important than hoping your AK is going to make the best hand?
    There is a critical flaw in your thinking here. You are more concerned about survival than building a winrate is almost certainly going to be lower.

    When we play a tournament, our goal should be to make the final table, not to simply make the cash.

    i normally limp with it and if i feel its strongest ill go all in on the turn or the rive depending on the board
    Never blind.

    Generally, limp.

    And range. AK is great on K22 in a 3bet pot, but it's not so good on KJT in a 4bet pot.

    what do others think>?
    You have much to learn.

    I am new to poker but I really doubt that always going all in is the best tactic out there. That is like the one of the largest bluff techniques you can imagine and yes it might fool some people but experienced, seasoned players will never fall for something like that.
    I have never really played poker until a few months ago. I am no stranger to the casino but I have mostly been focusing on slot machines. I know that a lot of people might think that it is kind of like a lost cause since it is very hard to win via slots but I like them.
    With the casinos closed I have been playing different online blind faith but it is exciting non the less.

    This question is more about the sixth sense. if you are very confident you can try,but I usually prefer a more conservative strategy.

    Good poker is not about a "sixth sense", it's about observing your opponents, putting them on a range, and applying mathematics to your decisions.

    What's with the pretend-to-like-poker posts with no spam links? Is that code in the signature a SEO thing? Or are they just biding their time before unleashing the link blitz?

    I totally get where you're coming from. Sometimes it's better to play it safe and focus on tournament survival rather than risking everything on a single hand. Personally, I also like to be a bit more cautious with AK, especially early on in the game. By the way, have you checked out the mod edit: the spam i'm promoting blog? It's been my go-to source for finding great poker deals and tips. They often discuss strategies for playing hands like AK and offer some really valuable insights. At the end of the day, it's all about finding what works best for you and your playing style.

    you probably need to bet at the right time if you have a good hand and there is already a big pot on the table, first gradually raising the bet, which is the only way in poker. I studied from articles on this site MOD EDIT: Flopturnriver.com

    the best strategy can depend on the dynamics at your table, your stack size, and your overall tournament goals <removed link>

    Wise move to play it cool with AK, especially in the early game. Gotta navigate those waters smartly

    Totally get that, man. Survival in tournaments is keyriver.

    Tournament survival is a little overrated except for some brief phases and situations around the stack.

    From the time that late registration closes to the time that you are marginal or infrequent pay jumps), it's all about chip accumulation.

    During the registration and rebuy period is so low risk/low reward that the best approach is a little up for debate and depends on style. If you're so fixated on survival that you're going to be limping AK, then you should really just max late reg and literally not worry about playing poker at all.

    Otherwise (if you feel that playing the soft early field is +EV enough for you to fire another bullet.

    There's not really a scenario where you expose yourself to the blinds and vicissitudes of early-registration play only to play like a giant nuts.

    Of course none of that is to say that always going all in with AK is good in any stage of a tournament. Alas, you will have to turn your brain on and play some poker...
