My thoughts are it doesn't really matter. You would be better off trying to read your opponents hand, then trying to decide how many cards are still in the "deck" for your odds calculations. These adjustments micro discusses would only come into play for extremely close calls. Extremely close calls should be made on judgment. With all that being said I think micro makes a couple of valid points. Also note AK goes up in value because of other reasons when played shorthanded. For example, you might win without improving.
