please never ever limpt with AK after two limpers! That's bad!!! 250 pre is fine (3xBB +1 BB for every limper).

I'd limp AK after two limpers sometimes. The reason being that if someone limped with A-x and the flop comes as it does here, there is a good chance you'll take their entire stack. When raising might fold out the aces you're beating, and keep the pairs, just AJ, AQ etc.

AK is the best drawing hand so use it against players that limp with A-x for this exact flop. Don't need to fold them out. But after the flop play this strong, limping also disguises your hand and most trip aces (even a lot of pairs, FDs) would be inclined to call a near pot sized bet.
