I just call in this situation. See a flop and outplay these people. People on here write a lot about insane all-in bets or calling all-in with hands like AQ, KQ, or AJ, but the truth is that if you're called, you're extremely likely to be a coinflip at best and in really bad shape at worst. Just as a general rule, I'll raise with AK if not yet raised and call with it to see a flop if it is raised. I'm convinced that, at least in the full ring games, an all-in with AK is not profitable.

Calling is fine, but raising all in like this isn't bad. You'd be amazed how often worse hands will call you on Party 25. This is not a recommended play at higher stakes, but I've seen so many all in calls with AQ, KQ, AJ and the like that it will offset the times you are just a coinflip with a PP.
