what makes you think this?

I would either min raise villain here (hoping to establish control and letting villain know I have a hand), or I would flat call and re-evaluate when i see the flop. I would prefer to reraise.

What benefit are you getting from a min-raise? He's very unlikely to fold. It allows him the chance to go all-in, do you fold to an all-in? If he just calls and you miss AK then what do you do?

am i willing to call an allin for 1/2 of my stack with AK? absolutely. What benefit are you getting? You are establishing control. I also said in my other post that i can see an argument for pushing, min raising or flat calling.
