AK Out of position

[happyhornet]

This was a hand in the opening level or so in last nights Focus game. I know I played it badly (or at the least, passively) but I am not sure what I should have done. Blinds are 15/30, i have about my starting stack (2500), Washy (the nemesis in the hand) has slightly less but only by a few. UTG+1, I raise to about 75. Everyone folds to Washy who re-raises me to 215, folds back to me. Now, I don't know what Washy's impression of my raise was, I am not the tightest player, so he may not give me credit for a top hand. Equally, he must have a hand (TT+ AJ+ or complete bluff!!) I'm not going to fold (not my style:lol), so should I flat call or re-raise? As the opening line of the thread suggests, I was too passive. I called. The flop comes down QJ4. I check, Washy bets about 75% of the pot and I meekly fold:sad. Again, should I lead out on the flop, or call/raise Washy's bet? Any ideas welcomed!! Steve

Re: AK Out of position I probably let it go preflop bth, but I hate playng hands like this oop. It's very early on, i think you have to let it go, post flop. M is still huge.
