Re: AKs and Pushing on flops
Agree with scott: in some situations the size of the bet won't affect what they will do, and you'll learn the same information. I'm not sure what level this was at, but you figure that if you lead out with a bet between 1/3 and 2/3 the pot and get called, you'll have to think about it. Obviously if he plays back at you, you may be up against something.
I like the raise preflop, he probably was thinking "well I have two big cards and can get a straight and I already have 50 in, so...." I've seen strange calls like this. This is one of the cats that may only fold a hand like that to 6xbb raise. Were people routinely folding to 4xbb raises out of position? I've seen some tables where 3x or even 2xbb would chase someone out, depending on position.
lead out with half the pot and see where you stand, and don't jeopardize your stack with someone who could have hit it big on the flop, my thoughts.
