It says "Never go in with connectors like AK. Always go in with a pair, the higher the better."

So I should go all-in with 22, but fold with AK?

I can find many, many problems with this logic. For one, you will often be against a higher pair when you have a pair like 22, 33, 44, 55. For another, people will call all-ins with AQ suited, AQ, AJ suited, even A10o. You are then 3 to 1 to double up. Even if you get called with AK when you have a low pair, you're barely a favorite.

Sounds like this guy needs to take some advice, not dish it out.

EDIT: He also says to move all-in with A + other card if you think you can "make it". And move in with any pair. This is in an SNG.

Ninja, you are wrong quoting. It says that you should not trust an AK too much, since it is an underdog to any pair. It does NOT say go all-in on a low pair. But yes, I would rather have the 22 than AK in a 1v1 all-in situation. BUT, going all-in with 22 is btw quite stupid.

but thanks for your opinion anyway...
