I talked about this hand earlier, but I wanted to revisit it, because play of AK when it flops undercards comes up so often. (I've altered the scenario slightly so that the high bet options available in the poll are actually differnet, by giving myself and my opponent more chips.)

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

Hero (t2220)
Button (t1220)
SB (t815)
BB (t1620)
UTG (t1520)
MP (t605)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
2 folds, Hero raises to t275, Button calls t275, 2 folds,

Flop: (t700) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 players)
Hero... ?

Just my two cents but your poll is flawed in the following way: for me a bet less than the pot is likely my action but there is a huge difference between betting 1/4 of the pot, 1/2 the pot and 3/4 of the pot.

Betting 1/2 the pot and 3/4-9/10 the pot should really be options imo.

Understadable. I'm curious what criteria might cause you to bet 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4. I know I often bet less than the pot, because the pot size is large relative to the size of my stack, but I don't think I ever purposefully choose to bet 1/2 instead fo 3/4.
