Re: Continuation all-in with AK, should I have checked?
This is that awkward situation where you have around 13-14X BB. It's very hard to play a flop with that.
I think it was a mistake to bet 175. You're making the pot too big to effectively play the flop with the chips that you have. I would either bet 125, or go all-in. My standard play in this situation is to go all-in. I'm satisfied with the 75 chips, and with the times that I get called.
Now, if you bet 125, and you get two callers, and the flop misses you, then you are in a very difficult position. My standard play with AK and more than 1 caller is to check/fold on the flop if the flop misses me. With 1 caller, I would push and take my chances.
