Default Re: 1st hand - Flop decision with AK

my thoughts come from those that shillx installed into my brain

All the money is going in on this hand. It makes a lot more sense to make him do the betting since he won't throw away a better hand to a flop all-in, but he might get greedy and make a big pot commiting or all-in bet on 4th with Ax or Jx. By making a big reraise now all you do is give him a chance to get away from a worse hand. This is commonly how you should play these hands since the $$$ is going in no matter what if he has AQ or AJ, but by just calling, you get those extra chips those times he keeps bluffing at the pot (or betting with <= 3 outs).
