And is raising with AK from the big blind the best choice for all players in all games at all times?

Yes. Seriously, it is.

Congratulations, you've just given away a good deal of information every time you're in the BB. I'm sure that a game with a bunch of observant pros won't be able to exploit that.

Congradulations, you're wrong. Sure, it might HELP with hand reading I guess but it's surely not an exploitable condition. I'm sure most players are raising plenty of hands from the bb and therefor making himself plenty hard to read.

My point is simply this: there could conceivably be a game where you would never raise from the BB with anything, because the value of deception was high enough that it trumped raising-for-value considerations, especially preflop.
