AKs versus the flush?

[mikeyKay]

maybe that wasnt the best way to put it. my point is that betting out will not get a better hand to fold, and runs the risk of getting raised and might make you fold the best hand, or having to pay 2 bets for a loser. a worse hand might call the bet...but i dont know. i see the other player either making a move or just folding a worse hand, therefore i dont see much value in leading out
