Default Re: Waiting for the turn with AK

Your hand being vulnerable is not in itself a reason to raise. Your hand must be vulnerable AND you must be able to fold the hands that make it vulnerable. In this case, those are pair+gutshot type hands, which you can make fold on the turn, not on the flop.

That's absolutely not true. Your reason you have to raise the flop is that you don't give your opponents the proper potodds to call and they'll make a mistake according to the TOP if they call.
If you call the flop you give your opponents the proper odds to call a gutshot on the flop; if you raise you don't (there are 5,5 BB in the pot when it's up to you). IMO it's just this simple and nothing more or less.
The reason why you wait for the turn to raise in some occasions is that your opponents independently of what you do (raise or call) on the flop, have proper odds to call the flop, but won't get the proper potodds on your turn raise. This is absolutely not the case in this example.
