By raising a greater amount with AK - one also tell the other players one has AK. They can thus play against one perfectly.

Exactly. There are plenty of times when I don't raise w/ AK. If I'm on the button and 3-6 have limped in, there's nothing wrong w/ seeing the flop cheaply. In limit though, I raise 100% of the time.

seeing the flop cheaply with AK... there's a thought... why not limp with AA to get a cheap flop? someone might flop a set, maybe quads.
also, might be better to just fold AK preflop. after all AK is just two cards, two random cards, not even a pair. i made up my mind. i'm folding AK preflop from now on.
