Statement i) When I have AKs UTG, I obviously raise because I have a pretty huge equity edge, and I'm hoping I'll get many cold-callers.

Statement ii) When I have 99 UTG, I obviously raise because I want to put as much pressure on overcards to fold as possible. While I'd have an equity edge against most calling hands, a fair amount of the cold-calls might even have an equity edge against me. But I still raise to protect.

In short, I'd raise these hands UTG on the vast majority of tables, but for completely different reasons and hoping to obtain completely different outcomes.

So the questions are:
1) Are these two statements contradictory?
2) If so, which of the two is incorrect?
