Re: (22) AK vs UTG raiser
I think you lose a ton of value from weaker aces by folding AK here. I would say the vast majority of the 22ers are raising AJ and AQ UTG here, and they will not go gently if they flop an ace. I think the implied pot odds of calling with AK here are similar to those of calling with a middle pocket pair for set value -- if you flop an ace, you will usually get the raiser's stack if they have AQ or AJ. Maybe this is a difference between 1500 starting stacks I play with and party's 800, but I think folding is losing value either way.
