Thanks Will. Good insight which I'll take to heart. His check on the flop should have told me I'm way ahead or way behind, and thus I should maybe be probing the flop to define my spot, vs checking it past. That is, assuming I'm going to commit 1/4 of my stack to seeing a flop with AK, which the more I play AK late, the more I find calling raises with it from M>10 players an EV- affair.
