NL25: AKs makes TPTK against calling station

[GrumpyB]

I'm a n00bie just breaking even at NL25 after about 15,000 hands and I still can't think fast enough during a game to really keep up! My only hope is to work through my Hand Histories and to look for patterns that I might recognize in the future. But then, while it all makes perfect sense when I work through the examples in HoH books 1 and 2, I don’t think I’m smart enough yet [if ever!] to mark my own homework. So if the example below isn’t too trivial, I’d love to hear what you poker gurus think of this ...

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (10 handed)
0.12/0.25 No-Limit Texas Hold'em (10 handed)

<font color="blue">Reads: The site I play on does not support PT, so I haven’t bought it yet, but I selected this table because of the high percentage of players seeing the flop (around 45%). I had played a couple of orbits, card dead, but it seemed everyone else was playing with a huge call button, a very much smaller fold button and a raise button hidden behind a rock. Villain hadn’t done anything to stand out from the crowd. </font>

Villain (24.79)
UTG+1 (23.18)

Was my bet sizing OK? Was I right to bet on every street? [result later!]
