The chip thing was kinda odd. Rarely see the 100s in this game. Usually someone came from the table games (and color down to 3 stacks of yellow) or had a lot of chips. My best guess is that he won a pretty massive pot and has been bleeding off money since then.

I've laid down AK pre-flop plenty of times in a limit game, and certainly this isn't a insta-push for me. But no way do we give this clown credit for a better hand and certainly not with $40 dead money in there.

I pushed, he tanked, faked calling a couple times to get a reaction, then folded 77 face up. Nice read sir.
