Lets say your heads up in a $100-$100 NL game. You get dealt A K and on the flop comes 4 7 A. You bet 500 dollars and he calls. Next card is a 10. What is a typical raise in this situation. Would you increase your bett to 1000 dollars?

Well first off if you don't know what to bet playing $100-$100 NL I gotta suggest you step down in limits.
Each situation is different and the bet shouldn't be the same every time.

Pre-flop, bets are genderally discussed in multiples of the BB, after the flop, bets are generally discussed in multiples of the pot.
It really depends on what kind of hand you put the guy on. Is he slow playing you? Is he on a straight or flush draw? Is he the type to play weak kickers with his A?
After the call on the flop, there might be 1100 in the pot. I would think an 800 - 1000 bet would be reasonable (2/3 - 3/4 the pot size). Chip size would also play a factor, in addition to if this was a tourney or a cash game.

If the buy-in is 10k (playmoney), a pre-flop bet of 5-10x the BB is required to shake the loose players off bad hands (and there are a lot of them). In real money games 3-4x BB is generally enough to let people know you have a good hand. Not true in playmoney. In playmoney a 3x BB PF bet will recieve calls all around the table, more often than not (which doesn't stop me from doing it with drawing hands like AKs).
After PF you can bet as standard (as if it were a real-money game). 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and pot-sized bets are best. Betting more than the pot, bizarre or not considering PF tendancies, will usually get more calls than betting the pot. Because of the steep PF bets you have to lead out with in playmoney games, I suggest you not sit down at a table that has anyone with more than 25k in his chip stack. You will face suck outs, and it's generally a good idea to avoid situations where a guy can easily justify putting you all-in to scare you off a hand, and if multiple guys can do it, you're gonna have a miserable time beating the table.
If 500-1k PF bets aren't your thing, or they don't seem to be working. Just call and pray for the nuts (this doesn't mean playing every hand-- card selection should remain the same). Bluffing isn't encouraged.

Heads up and you have a K in the hole. Nothing on the board that will help you, then I would check unless your trying to buy a pot. Only problem is the other player might have a pair made already and may not let you buy it. If he checks then bet or raise on the river if you feel you got him beat. A good bet that might get him off the hand, on the river, would be a pot size wager.
