Playing in a PP $10 Multi. We are down to 30 players and are in the money when the following 2 hands with AK came. The money is still nominal at this point. No read on the table as I have been at this table for 5 hands. Average stack is about 14K.

On this hand, I think the better play would have been to raise all-in pre-flop. But once I bet on the flop, I think that I had to call the all-in raise.
