Re: Live 5/10 hand vs good player
The thing about NL is that image and reads play way more of a role than in limit because of the bet sizes. In limit, no matter the reads, meta game, etc, it's never more than 1 bet h/u.
So your lines of thinking in this hand go along with how your opponent thinks you'd play a draw, if you thought he missed with AK and were making a move on him and, of course, how you'd play a set or PP.
You should mix checking, betting 1/2-3/4 of the pot and firing out a pot sized bet with a draw, 2P, set or air, just to define the randomness of your action. Then fast playing is more likely to be paid off because of your unpredictablility.
That's a big difference than from just being a wild lag to get action when you have a hand.
