Yes those  numbers of course are correct. But you're still winning seven out of 10. That's ahead. That's way way ahead. So you take your hand against a built range on average. So like somebody else said above it's done to balance.

You have a range as well as your opponent does. Also look at the numbers you just posted, Ace King versus 72, and AA versus 72... And subtract a difference. Remember you're still losing 11 times, that's 19 difference... And that's against aces. You're not always going to be against aces you have to figure other hands like Ace queen, king king, queen queen, Jack Jack.etc. that's what GTO does. It builds a range. Also again, keep in mind Fold equity. That's very very important.. you're not factoring that in your equation. You get in a raising match with somebody pre-flop and you go all in there's a good likelihood they're going to fold and you'll steal.

But like any good poker player I'm not suggesting that you blindly follow gto. And most especially since this topic is in the tournament category where you would deviate most of all.

So like if you're in the late stages of a tournament, and you're on the bubble or you're in the final table and n your battling against the different top places and you have multiple all ins and you look down at Ace king, well then yeah you may lay it down. It's not worth the risk of you being out and you know several people are going to be knocked out right now.

Everything is situational dependent.
