Your flop bet is way too large here with AK. On such a mild board like A44, a normal bet is 1/2-2/3 the pot.

pokerstars 6 handed 12/1 table.

Curtains, did I commit myself with too large of a bet? I think I would still have a very tough time laying this down, seeing as how he called my preflop raise.
