The reason I thought AK was due to the bet on the flop, I'd have expected this particular player to try something a little more tricky with anything stronger. Thing is at this level you run into a higher set/full house (or quads) a lot less often then you run into someone over playing their top pair. While this is profitable most of the time, this hand was an example of where that kind of thinking can be dangerous and end up costing you (or, more specifically, costing me ;)). Another poker lesson learnt, I still don't think I'm folding this hand but the argument for slowing down after the turn is definitely a strong one.

What about AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 1010? with a 1x raise why would you automatically put him on AK and only AK? What about AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 1010?
