It has been a while since I have played no limit holdem or posted, but I thought this hand was interesting.

Have not paid too much attention to the table as I was fixing dinner / eating while playing. Anyways, I was just caught raising all-in against a semi-short stack with a gutshot on the hand immediately before this one, so he may think I am tilting a little. He also might think I'm attempting some "squeeze" play preflop. His preflop call of the reraise was immediate, which leads me to believe he has some sort of small or middle pair.

Taking all this into consideration, and the fact that my flop bet looks weak, I opted to push over his raise. Good or bad?

I like to know that this guy is the kind to 3-bet with AK before I try this. It seems to be AK by preflop passives just as often as it is a PP.

Calling seems better though, your equity when you're ahead is ridiculous

seems dumb if you might talk yourself out of it when an A or Q hits the turn and you end up not going with your initial read. also it should be obvious if he's any kind of player to stop bluffing once you call flop.
