Playing AKo AKs the same way but getting very different results. Good 9max Horrible 7max
.02/.05
I've looked at heaps of videos on AK and play it in a TAG poker style. Super rarely go all - pre flop
I'll just show the stats firstly Ignition over 25000 hands at Ignition 9max, note the AKs

Then the same stakes at Coinpoker over 10000 7max improved AKs stats
I assume this is variance or Coinpoker is haunted?
Any advice?

Variance, sample size etc
Thought I'd try at the lowest stake!
Is this always the wrong play?
