I've actually made my standard raise size 60 in level 1 because of this problem. No big deal if I get more callers, the point is to outplay them postflop anyway.

Same thing with AK in LP; at that point, you have two options - raise to 60 and just build a pot you have the best hand in right now, or do something weird like raise to 150 or push. The real problem is that the last thing you want with AK is exactly 1 caller, because you will miss too often (2 callers gives you odds to hit). Therefore, if your raise size is too big, what will happen is you'll get one donkey calling with 77 and he'll have the best hand on the flop most of the time. That's bad, and in this situation, you should try to just build the pot.
