This is exactly what we are talking about here. There is no "standard" line. It is read dependent - so you must have a read. There is no way to get reads playing 5 tables. HUDs only tell you a partial truth (does that make it a lie?). Has the villian been showing down garbage? Does he call with any piece of the flop? Does he autobet the flop after being raised preflop? There are 20 other questions that have to be answered. Against an unknown I raise this most of the time but it is much better to have a read and know that if I'm reraised that I'd better fold the turn UI. But remember that AK does have showdown value HU in 6max. So sometimes you will end up calling down with top pair or ace high. Sometime you look stupid and sometimes you pick off a bluff. HU you opponent gets a piece of the flop <1/3 of the time.
