Aren't you somewhat obligated to bet? I see so many weak players raise preflop, then check when all rags come out. It screams AK and now unless an A or K hits turn or river, they've lost the pot.

It also empowers the button to bluff you out with his/her lesser hand.

Do you guys have certain rules for yourself when u hold AK and the flop comes rags? Is there are a certain number of callers that you require to keep you from bluffing the flop? Heads up you have to bet, right?

It's called a continuation bet and I will always make one unless it's 4 people to the flop or I'm certain I could check raise an aggro op behind me.
