Default Re: I\' ve just started with NL..

He's telegraphed that his hand is better than yours before the flop. The reason for the bet size is not a question of odds (it might be giving AK a decent price to play, but I guess thats the flaw in betting that much), but a "play-the-opponent" question. When you bet a portion of his stack u give yourself room to drop the hand when he pushes all-in on the flop: if he is passive and he pushes then you're done.
