How do you play AK

[pearljam]

In rounds 1 or 2 your dealt AK in early position, assuming you still have 745-800 chips what is the correct play? this is in 10+1 too 30+3.

limp from EP

AK can be tough to play. Sklansky says it is best played all-in so you have the full board to work. I used to have trouble throwing it away when board missed me (if I just bet). Now I generally either limp or move all-in depending on situation (level, prior bets or raises, any reads (I think I have) everyone's chip stack (including my own).)

AK, along with TT, is probably the most often debated preflop hand on this board. There is no good answer. "PUSH preflop" is probably one of the few bad answers.

I have a question too, if you end up limping in EP w/ AK early in a SNG & say you get a min Raise or 3x raise after that is it correct to move in?
