I personally don't like AK that much because it seems to get me in big trouble.

Example :
Last night $10 buy in 8 players at the table.
I have AKs (spades).
Flop: 9h, jd, qc
I raise $2, and have one caller
Turn: 2c
I raise $2, get re-raised $5.. I fold

Well turns out that my opponent has TT and the rest of my AK outs were taken by the playes at the table. I always find that when I am delt AK at big tables that my outs are always gone.

Now, when I am playing short handed that is a diffrent story. AK pays off for me because not all my outs are taken.

I also fold AK UTG.
