Alex Fitzgerald Explains What to Do When Your Ace-King (AKA Big Slick) Misses

People always want to know what to do when their ace-king (AKA Big Slick) misses. Today, we will take a look at that question. To begin, let's start with preflop play.

There are very few situations where you should not be reraising with your ace-king preflop. Generally, you want to increase the size of the pot when you have this hand. It is highly likely your opponents will raise and call preflop with weaker dominated hands. If they raise and call with ace-queen, king-queen, or something similar they are headed for a world of hurt. Should they flop to their hand they will go broke to you.
