Most of what you said was true.

This is incorrect. With multiple callers, 22 loses a huge amount of value, no matter what they are holding. The reason is that the chance of someone catching come part of the flop is tremendous. If everyone in a hand at a 10 handed table sees the flop and there is no 2 on the flop, it is almost impossible for 22 to stand up because someone will catch a higher pair. On the contrary, AK is often better than any non-paired hand that doesn't hit AND if it hits, it is better than any non-paired hand that does hit. You'll hit a pair/straight much more frequently with AK than a set with 22.
