This is when a player's hole cards consist of an ace and a king, regardless of suit.
SoundPoker Says: In Texas Hold'em this is a very strong pre-flop hand and becomes even stronger if one of the two cards hits the board. This would give you top pair with top kicker. A player who holds A - K should be weary of an opponent with a pocket pair who has potential to hit three of a kind.
