The blinds were .25/.50. Also, I showed my hand hoping to put the guy on tilt, but I should've known that the pot wasn't big enough to do that. However, what I'm more interested in is the general case where AK doens't hit the flop. In a mult-way pot, is it pretty safe to assume that you are trailing if the flop doesn't hit, and therefore you should just check and fold? But if it is a multi-way pot, does that mean you should've raised more preflop to get the weaker hands out? If its heads up after the flop can you assume there is about a 50/50 chance you are trailing (after all you only have Ace high), and try to take a stab at the pot? Thanks for all the replys guys.
