1. AK UTG. - A lot of people raise with it, but I don't like that move. People put you in big hands, and AK is definitely going to be flowing through their minds
2. TT postflop in late position - How do i play this? If i hit a set of 10s then thats a no brainer. If there are unconnected rags on the flop, and i raise and get reraised, what should i do? here i usually put them on an overpair higher than mine. Also, if a face card comes on the flop, how do i proceed with betting if it's checked or small-raised to me?
3. 22-99 pocket pairs. i usually raise 2x regardless of position to sweeten the pot, so if i flop a set ill have a big pot to win. this is probably not a very great play, so what else should i do?

assuming you're talking low stakes
1. so many people at lower stakes don't pay attention to position at all. Last thing you want to do is limp in and play a 5 way pot. If you want to limp and 3bet it thats certainly an option at an aggressive table, but I usually just open.
2. a lot of your questions are read and preflop action dependent, but in general you should fold to large reraises unless you think they're reraising you with less than set/higher pockets. Be more inclined to bet a face card when you raised PF, have position, and there's only 1-2 others in the hand.
3. In general don't make your raises change from hand to hand. If you're gonna raise, make it consistent so people can't read your hands. Also, most of the time you're not hitting your set, but raising like you mean it lets you cbet much easier; this also tends to make you less readable on your AK UTG hands from 1. I recently started being much more aggressive w/ pp's from all positions at 10NL after reading some threads here and like its affect so far. Just don't get too attached
