Well, first of all I'd like to say thank you all. I just had my first big cash for almost 1K in a Party Poker, and I couldn't have done it without these forums. Of course, I donked off my last chips with this hand. I'm so upset with myself. I put him on AK, and I should have known he could have a myriad of other hands. First place was over 4k.

Thats a terrible fold for how much you had already committed (66% of your stack) even if you knew he had AK you would still have to almost call.

Oh, I know. I mean, this play is 100% indefensible. It cost me 1-3 thousand dollars. I'm really pissed with myself.

Don't worry, by the fourth or sixth time you cost yourself several thousand dollars, the first one seems like a pleasant far away memory.

Cold calling here sucks preflop I think. Push or fold.

Congrats man.

Shitty hand; you played scared, which isn't that shocking in your first big cash. I've got a worse one in which I folded AK preflop in the SB three-handed to a maniac who had like 8x BB or so at an FT, when I covered like 4:1. You learn from it.
