this thread reeks of weak tight play.

raise AK, play small pots with it, and represent flops. Just because Q73 comes doesn't mean the other guy has a queen! If you get called for bluffing, it's not the end of the world, hell, most players don't bluff enough so they get piss poor value on their good hands.

If you do get called on the flop, depending on how tight the other player is, I might bet the turn, but I often just give it up there. Smart players sometimes call a flop bet to see how you react on the turn( I do if i think the guy is full of shit), this is part of no-limit poker.
