How would u play if u had AK?

[lorez]

With AK or KJ I'm raising this probably to $18. Unless I know the badguy will lead into the pre flop raiser with a set, I'm putting him on another king and then it's a case of evaluating his kicker. Also, would the badguy play AK &amp; KQ this passive preflop?

Also, what has your table image been when playing similar plays? Have you been laying down to action too easily on the flop after a raise?
