Exactly. I like to come over the top of min-raisers with a 8-10x's BB raise. Sometimes with any two. Now where does your AK stand?

Your min-raise tells me that you possibly have, a) a monster, or b) a hand you like, but not an overly powerful hand. Depending on my read and stack sizes I'll jam the pot, and take your 2 BB plus everyone else that was silly enough to call.
