Hero?

No reads. Is betting the flop good? Will weaker aces call enough? Does a hand with a 4 make this raise often?

[Fnord]

I pay off a 4 for the max. If he played it like this, then good for him.

[r8ed]

Now this one I call and pay off without regret.

Perfect flop for AK. Okay, maybe AAA or TcJcQc, but you know what I mean...

A 4 generally doesn't push but tries to string you along a bit and trap you. He probably has a weaker ace or pockets. Of course this is 25NL and you see all sorts of stuff, but I call these all night the push means a weaker hand or draw, this recent hand springs to mind (lost but would call them all night also this guy was a shorty so didn't take much balls)....
