I know I sucked out but how much do I bet the river?

I put him on AK but I just had to call his raise, I don't know why, I just did. Any comments appreciated. The table said I should have gone all in, he would have had to call?

that is the girliest bet i've ever seen

i'd bet somewhere in the the $60-$80 range...

I'd also like to hear more about this one. I have a hard time value betting on the river. In this situation, where you put him on a big A, I'd probably put a half-pot sized bet out there, or $50 in this case.

If he can fold AK for that, more power to him, but I think that's still small enough for him to call.

I definitely bet more on the river, but I am not even making it to the river because I fold the turn

lol, your right but I knew I had him beat and wanted value. Any higher a raise and he was all in, I obviously didn't want him folding.

he's gotta call any bet there that's half the pot or less that puts him all in, if he folds it oh well, but I think you could have gotten a lot more out of him.

Fold the turn.

You've only got about $41 behind at the river. Villain would get better than 3:1 to call your push. Do you really think he would fold that? Push the rest.
