Re: Interesting hand with AK
"While it's true that I likely have the best hand preflop, I'm out of position here. 2/3 times you'll miss the flop with AK, and I'm out of position. Even if I'm best on the flop (without improving), it can be very difficult to play this hand with 3 other people in the pot."
These are not compelling reasons not to raise. The best reason is the ability to bet into the preflop raiser when you completely miss, IMO.
I would threebet here, but just calling isn't a crime.
