You gained because he called your much superior hand that he wouldn't have had he known what you had. (= you gain).

No, I don’t think this is right. The guy with AT, even if he knew your hand is still getting proper odds to make the call.

And he gains from your bet because he avoided being checkraised.

Although this MAY be true, however if you check then AT guy would probably check too since he’s on a draw.

If nobody could see anybodies cards, and it was checked to him, the AT dude would have had to have bet, then would have been instantly been faced with a raise. So he saved a bet (on the expensive street no less).

If the cards were unseen then the guy with AK would have to bet thinking he is ahead and praying that AT guy doesn’t hit his flush and if the flush comes on 5th st, then he can check and see what AT guy does.
