in that pot, you dont cbet the flop...you cant afford to get called. it puts you in a crappy spot w/o position. check/fold flop.

however, if this happens frequently in a session (missing flops), it makes it real easy to c/c and lead turn large when you connect, as you are almost committed.

i know it sounds sac religious, but a whiffed AK oop invites disaster to short stacks.
