AKo is often a kayo

It's amazing how much statistics can reveal. I've known for a long time that my very worst hand is AJo (ace jack offsuit). I've toyed with the idea of never playing it again. What I've only more recently come to realize is how dramatically my predilection for flushes has affected my results with certain hands. The most egregious example of this is when I'm dealt a big slick. My results with AKs (ace king suited) are woeful - I've lost $111,830 with it. In sharp contrast, my results with AKo (ace king offsuit) are stellar - I've won $539,172 with it. That's a $651,002 swing. It's clear to me why this disparity exists - I grossly overvalue the fact that the cards are suited when I'm dealt AKs.

Last night, I was dealt AKo twice. The first time, I won a pot worth $50,250. The second time, I won $36,500. My biggest pot of the night came with another offsuit holding; on hand 71, I won a pot worth $97,350 with A8o (which turned into two pair, aces and eights).
