Well if it's AQ and 99-QQ then your AK is not bad at all but if it's AK instead of AQ then not.

What if you call and get reraised, how good is your AK then? What if you're up against AA or KK, how do you like it? Considering the action in front AA or KK will be out there quite a bit.

I value AK less than I did a few months ago and I'm pretty sure I'm better off. AK is not a bad hand but when it's raised and reraised in front of you ...
