For the longest time, I always raised pre-flop 3 or 4x with AK, depending on where the blinds were, especially during tournament play. AK, very much lik J10 suited or not, has never ever done anything for me. On many occasions I have folded AK even after someone raised and I was big blind and it has always been the right move. I guess to put it simply, that's just Poker.
Good Luck to all and see you on the felt!
