Don't raise AK preflop, ever acceptable?

[Gonso]

Most likely my adjustment would be to raise a greater amount here. If you're getting a lot of calls you're not getting much respect, try value betting pre 6 or 7 bb if you need to. You still want to cut the field down somewhat and punish them for their bad play as bet you can.

Also, you can't give up the pot every time you miss. If they're calling stations, then adjust accordingly but AK is still going to be ahead more often than not on most flops. If they're going to call your c-bets regardless, than even an unimproved AK is going to be ahead of their range on a lot of boards.

In this type of game, just tighten up your hands a bit, and push your hands a little harder. Your ranges will be ahead of theirs most of the time... you're bluffs lose a lot of value but you can regain that through more aggressive value betting.
