Looks okay, but I don't think I'd make it anything more than 140 pf. Nothing under 100 either, 120 looks good.

Re: 5.50 PS - Another AK hand, checking the lines
 

Why nothing under 100? I think opening the pot for 80-90 here is fine.

I'm not crazy about this board for a continuation bet. Depending on the player, I'll check behind on this flop a ton. If I bet, it's going to be between 250-300.

Probably something like 450 on the river too.

I agree with the bet less preflop / more flop, but what do people think about not firing again on the turn?

Re: 5.50 PS - Another AK hand, checking the lines
 

Open for 120 preflop. Otherwise I play this hand almost exactly the same post-flop

Re: 5.50 PS - Another AK hand, checking the lines
 

raise less preflop. check flop.
