Some guys make a 6x raise or reraise w/AK(or AQ/AJ or crap for that matter), so the higher the PP the better. If you assume that 6x(or any random amount) is always AA/KK/QQ, then of course no, it doesn't matter. I think it's dangerous to assume that. I won't call 6x but maybe 3-4x on the button w/99 from LP raiser known to steal blinds. A lot really depends on reads, where the bet came from, my position in the hand, how many limpers/callers and if there's anyone left PF to act. In some cases the 99 could hold up depending on the flop. In general, if somebody bets at you PF and post flop, flop is 752 rainbow, are you more likely to stay in the hand and/or win with 99 or 33?
I'm not sure potting a rag flop and rag turn is always best for AK. I usually make my flop bets smaller then that whether the flop hit me or not HU. If not HU that's really pushing your luck. There are also a fair number of people who just will not bet or call an unfavorable flop and will only call(or reraise) with a probable better hand, which means you don't get paid.
Trips are great. I love trips. I love trip ducks. I just don't want to pay too much to see a flop, or limp EP on an aggro table and have to fold them, or finally hit paydirt only to see the opponent fold to my first bet after overpaying all the times they didn't hit.
There's a lot of different ways to play PPs. I generally lean more towards TAG(if I'm not being stupid) so my calling decisions are easier, and especially when multi-tabling. I think in my situation, it makes sense to generally fold small PPs to aggression more often then not.
[This all pertains to full-table ring, BTW]
