I play No Limit Online Poker tourneys. Sometimes I will be dealt with an Ace and King. In good days they will be suited. But I noticed that 60% of my AK hands have lost. I tried to follow the tips and advices in online poker sites but I still get the same results. Could you share your experience with a hand like AK suited?

well.. I usually slow play with AK , and don't bet too much before the flop. I lost many AK suited hands , but I did win some .. anyway i don't think that AK its such a good hand.

AK suited is a good starting hand and play it accordingly before the flop, but my bet is that you are overvaluing it after the flop has come out. Sure, it looks really pretty when it's the only two cards you have, but when the flop is 2 7 Jack, your AK is essentially worthless. Just make sure you toss AK when it misses and it will save you a lot of money.
