Klinkman and I have a running joke about this- after watching so many people go bust with it, I've determined that one should always be careful with AK! So I am...but he still thinks I'm wrong lol. So I always give him crap when he's not being careful with it!

I think it depends on the hand and most importantly, your position. If you notice on High Stakes Poker, most players will muck that hand if there is a raise, allin situation in early postion. Thus, you have to assume that someone has atleast QQ or better. Or even AK, making your hand a less favorite. This is when I usually notice that people loose with this hand. Just because you have AK, doesn't mean no one else has A's or K's in the hand (whether mucked or not) people seem to forget this.
