Possibly, but if the rivals are recreational, it could encourage me to Call, having information from the others is important.

If to say honestly, me difficulty to do fold with AK practically in any situation, for except, possibly, at the beginning tournament and on the bubble...

I had to learn to fold hands like AKs, AKo, TT, JJ, QQ, KK or even AA pf...But sometimes it save your life...Especialy when u play Satellites for Tickets, there is nothing more important to win the ticket, it doesnt matter how much chips u have, its the only aim to win a ticket ;)

If I open and several call and if I connect an A or K and it's a low board I'm almost always dead, I prefer not to invest again against several, another situation is if I open and there are two rocks, one hits the third and the other hits the fourth I prefer to fold since one of them has it but if I'm short I go inside with my AK against one or two deeps since they're going to want to rob me with worse hands

I think AK is not good hand to trust. I usually play not too offensive that hand however on early stage of tournament i like to play all in pre flop.

I don't think I ever retired with AK before the flop, they're premium hands and it's difficult for me to retire. But it also looks good because they are hands that can be removed at certain times in tournaments.
