AKs cripples me

you have to be able to get away from hands when you miss the flop. going broke with AK as another poster suggested is okay preflop, but it would take some awfully good reads if you miss the flop completely.

Agree.

nothing wrong with CB of about 1/2 the pot. easy to get away from your hand then and it allows for a possible bluff/steal on turn or river.

In this case I think 1/2 pot sized CB would have been wrong, with an exceptionally great chance of being called or raised. I think any CB, regardless size, was wrong. I should have just checked, hoping for a free (or very cheap) turn card.
