One major thing working against you though is that your limp/call preflop doesn't look much like an ace.

What conditions do you recommend doing this with? I'd imagine against thoughtful aggressive players?

Thinking aggressive players are perhaps the worst to try it against. They are tricky and thus most likely to have checked some sort of a hand on the flop, and they are the most likely to raise you without much of a hand on the turn because they put you on exactly what you really have. Weak-tight players would certainly be the best, because they have little interest in picking off bluffs with marginal hands and will not spend much time thinking about what you have.

This of course is assuming that they don't know much about you. If a thinking aggressive player has seen you limp/call preflop with AK, and if you know he gets out of line a bit with his preflop raises, you probably have a pretty decent shot at picking up the pot on the turn.
