ESPECIALLY after you played AK so weakly preflop (push, please).

Do you push all in for 26,000 or so extra pre flop? Or re-raise to say 8,000?

There's already a lot in the pot, and whatever you bet, you want to make sure that he think you are committed. Make it to 13K. Pushing is fine too, because the money he has put in gives you nice odds even if shorty has xx <=QQ.

Raising to 8K is bad because ensures he will call, you will be giving him tremendous odds. at 13K, you get most of the FE you want. It's still very dangerous - I like a push better.

With 11k in the middle I think push is better than 13k or similar re raise - due to the poss that villian stop and go's on us with a pair and we miss flop...

I flat called for the reasons I explained before - not wanting to overcommit and as I had position, meh, guess it was a mistake.
