I don't think it can be wrong to stick to AA and KK, adding AK when you think you can get in cheaply. Be very conservative postflop without a set or top two pair.

I think you're too tight. AK rules! It's still got 65% equity vs. a random hand (admittedly much less than AA and KK, but still a 2:1 favorite.) If the donks are going to play AT or random crap in the blinds, it would be a crying shame not to raise AK.
I play AK 100% of the time and raise to enter, or raise vs. a limper. You are looking to make top two pair or trips. If you're up against AA or KK this is much less likely so you can usually leave the hand cheaply. Overall you are only a 2:1 dog vs. QQ+ (when the relative probabilities of the hands are included), so even against a tight opponent your folding equity makes this a hand to raise.
Admittedly I just finished digging myself out of my initial fishy hole, so take this with a grain of salt. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
