"Many people fall in love with A-K pre-flop in No-Limit Hold'em because they know that they can rarely be much worse than 50-50 to win the hand if they get all of their money in heads up."
"The position raise puts me in control of the hand and, even if I'm holding total trash, the pressure puts the blinds in a spot where they need to catch a piece of the flop."
