Reads on the opponent? And its not really a large raise per say, its pretty standard 4x + limpers.

I'd probably just call here with AK and see what the flop brings/what my opponent does. You do have position and if you have to fold to flop aggression, you'll still have a healthy stack. If you do hit an A or K, you might pick up a pot. You could raise here if you think your opponent is making a play with AJ, KQ, etc hands and you don't mind the chance of getting it all in on the flop, but I'd rather take the conservative route and just call. Not too mention your stack is way too deep, IMO, to get it all on just AK at this point.

My mistake, I misread the hand.

I'd still probably just call here. I think its too nitty to fold AK preflop, but I woulnt want to raise and play OOP. Especially on a non A or K board we have to check. Another concern is the players who limped in-how are they playing. If they're likely to call the raise or possibly even raise themselves, your AK value is going down-especially since you're OOP. If you're looking to be up against a few more players, I think a fold here would be ok.
