So what is my plan for the rest of the hand?
On a flop like this should I be trying to keep the pot small or trying to get my stack in? Should I reraise more preflop?

If my opponent is check-calling me down then what?

Flop: Bet pot
Turn: if no scare card comes, i.e. a king, then bet 3/4 pot.
River: consider checking behind

a) raise more PF b/c there is a called. Make it 7.5

b) bet 2/3 of pot, and make a decision if he does anything other than fold.

c)I think you're trying to keep the pot small-- BUT if he pushes you're probably committed to a call, just based on the chance he might be overplaying AK.

I agree here, the only tough choice is if he pushes. He either has JJ, KJ or AK. You should def be raising more preflop here
