I hardly go all in with AK unless im pretty certain my opponenet calls or raises with fairly weaker,marginal hands. Get a read on your opponent, if not sure just tread carefully. online poker dynamics are very different than in person. In person i might but online hardly, because of the computer algorithm randomness. Online ive seen AK beat alot more by low pairs by novices more than i ever seen. At the end of the day, you really want to flop or turn to river a straight, 2 pairs or flush hopefully, in the scenario you have a suited sand. AK?? Be CAREFUL!!

I don't go all-in with AK pre-flop. I play the hand aggressively, to either induce a fold or create a big pot for when I do hit the board. If I hit the flop, then I will start pushing harder. If I miss the flop, I will still c-bet but fold to a raise. If the board is wet or my opponent seems to like their hand a lot, while I still have nothing on the turn, then I will check-fold.
Not saying that it is the best strategy, but AK is only A-high if you miss the board and can even be beaten by a pair of deuces.

In this situation, there are so many factors that need to be taken into account.
In this situation, there are so many factors that need to be taken into account. You should evaluate the situation, and pay attention to:
1. At what stage is the tournament.
2. How many people remain before the prize places, if you are not yet in prizes.
3. How much you have a deep stack, compared to the stacks of other players and blinds.
4. In what position are you at the table.
5. Are you lucky today or is not luck today with you.
In general, I would advise with AK to do 3 bet and look at the actions of other players. If someone re-raises, you need to think whether your opponent has an older pair or vice versa, he is younger than you. If the opponent is tight, then it's better to fold, and if aggressive then you can call.

Depends on many factors.. Your stack, your position, the opponents stack, the opponents strategy and even your feeling at the time... For me generaly it's not a bad move to go all-in with A-K if you consider that many players will go all-in with A-Q or A-J, you can still lose but when you go all-in it's always a risk.
