When you get an Ace King it will still be a bit difficult to play when you miss the flop or if you are out of position. If you are such conditions, the best move will be to fold especially when you get some heavy betting on the table. It is difficult to play an Ace-King against multiple players.

Ace-King is actually a drawing hand. You need to improve this hand so you can win some showdown. Ace-King is has high potential of improving and be the best hand.

When you have a hand like this, you need to be aggressive pre-flop. Raises and continuation bets are excellent moves to take away the pot.

When you are up against players with short stacks, it will be to your advantage to play all in before the flop. Be careful when an opponent re-raises since most likely he is holding some cards that your cards might not be able to handle like kings or worse even aces.

You should feel the dynamics of the table when playing Ace-King. This will determine if you should continue with your push or back off a little.
