($60) 5-handed AK
 

Seat 7: has won two pots:
L3 - calling 3x from his BB (4way), leading 1/2 pot on a TTT flop uncontested
L5 - AKo, holding 9bb's...calling UTG minraise from MP, pushing over UTG's c-bet on a rag flop (doubling up when KQ called)

I have played one hand - pushing over an EP 3x this level with JJ, doubling up

Do you feel the 500 preflop raise gets more folds than 450? Since I'm guessing this is your standard raise. 450 seems to be the standard for most.

I push here btw. Thats a pussy bet by him, basicly asking if you have a big pair or AK. Push and tell him you have a big pair. You should have plenty of FE.

Interesting....you know he's capable of identifying a ragged flop and determining that you missed it. A mid pair is certainly possible. Your options-

Fold - Wuss option. Leaves you with 2110 chips. Not bad, you still have some room to work.
Call - You'll have 1660 left. Enough that you're still able to fold on the turn if he makes antoher large bet. But you gain almost no information unless he checks the turn.
Raise - Any raise less than all in would commit you anyways. And all in is awful gutsy. A pair like 88-TT is most likely calling you.

I'd probably take the wuss out option and fold. Calling seems second best to see what he does on the turn.

Tough spot. My first instinct would be to move allin. Even if he has some mid pair and calls, you still win about 25%.
