Depend the read about other players and if have any moves before you, but normally I raise 2x-3.5x BBs + 1 BB x limpers. In flop if just one call me, I c-bet most of the time even if I am not in position and even if I have not hit anything that improves my hand. In turn I think if my hand is good or not and I'll evaluate if it's worth bet or check.

I lost to a couple people who had pocket aces against my ace king. I would probably raise 500 chips at the most.

Depends on the usual factors - blind level, stack sizes, position, reads, action to me. But to generalise I'm usually raising 3-4BB if it's unopened, calling or re-raising if not. However, the right actions from the right players before me (i.e 3 and 4 bets from tight players) could make me fold AK.

Cut off is a nice position and AK is a strong pair. Good combination! I would make a simple raise and a few times all in, depending from the conditions!

There is no simple answer due to all of the variables, but AK should be a raise or reraise a vast majority of the time. About the only time it isn't for me is if a tight player has already 3 bet before me, in which case I'll likely flat if it isn't too much of my stack. However if the original raiser is fairly short stacked and I think there is a good chance they will shove, I might fold. Also if I am at/near the bubble in a satellite I might fold depending on stack sizes.

In the later stage with a small stack, you can go all-in. All-in, you can go against the middle of the stack on the bubble. On the bubble is the hand with which to play aggressively.

With AK I never limp. I prefer 4x raise but depends on how many players left and how much stack I have got

I will usually raise small, or call if I can force the action to close. I will not usually all-in this hand, even suited.

I try play aggressive on CO with AK, and never fold vs button or blinds.
