Re: AKs.

I'd also check, but I'm raising the flop and taking the initiative back.

I didn't raise the flop for a few reasons.. the main reason being that I figure to be way ahead or way behind. If I hand like KJo is leading into me, he's a 3:1 dog on the flop, so I'm not very worried about it. If I am already crushed by a set or the made straight, I am losing less. If he bets again on the turn, which I figure these hands to do, I can fold. If they check, I can take back the initiative by betting, which is what I did.

Ugh.. I figured I couldn't give a free card here. I wanted to define the hand. Opponent showed weakness by slowing down so I figured a bet was neccessary. Perhaps a check behind and perhaps a call on the river is better?
