it seems to me that the hands that u make the most out of your AK are those Ax hands. Cause if the flop didn't help them, they will probaly fold to ur C-bet. And if the flop hits his kicker u won't lose much cause he will be very passive with the lower pair. And if the A hits u will make a very nice profit by value betting it. so by not raising too much with AK, u will let those Ax to tag along.
On the other hand, if u reraise a small raise or raise over 4x bb. the only hands that going to call you are those that u will be trailing to the flop. and if the flop didn't hit u, u don't know if u want to c-bet it or not. (chances are the board will be lower than those higher pairs, such as JJ TT or 99)
I am not saying not to raise with AK, i also see the point that when there are alot of limpers, u need to raise big. but normally when there are just 1 to 2 limpers, raise 3x BB is the best choice? cause on PP ppl will call that 3xbb with Ax.

Yup, I remember the days when my AK used to get paid off by A7 routinely.
Now when a lot of money goes into the pot, they always have the dreaded set...

he means a flopped set with a pocket pair. And the odds of that is 7:1.

Ah, yes... the AK hand.
I dunno about other people, but I MUCH rather hit the K than the ACE.
