.50/1 Home Game- AK Part II

[Jeff76]

Ok, so this is another hand from the live game I played last night. I thought it was kind of interesting and I'd like some feedback, especially with my check in the dark on the flop.

Villain is 2+2, playing very LAG, and is the only player I know in the game (he invited me in fact). We met up playing tournaments online (we've both won the 4/180 Tuesday night challenge from the MTT Community forum) and I've played with him live once before where he got the best of me. We often talk smack of raising each other's blinds, and earlier I got caught raising his blind with A6o (he defended with A6o and we split the pot).

Note: the suits might be incorrect, but they are close enough for relevancy.

Stacks:
CO: $100
