44? I might have to lay down that one to his re-re-raise/push... especially with no reads...
Should've just called the initial check-raise. and see what the turn brings bet-wise. Does AK fire back so hard here normally against a new player to the table? I doubt it...This hand smells bad to me, and it's time to let it go. Top 2 is a hard hand to let go of, but I'd say this is one of those situations.
