AKs in the big blind

[lostinthought]

Alright, so I am done raising limpers in the small blind with KQs.
But how about AKs in the BB?

Do you even take a shot at the pot on the flop? Or is this an easy check-fold?

I raise 4x the BB + 1BB per limper.

Do you bet half pot when hit?

Depends on the flop and the players.

but yeah, I will bet half the pot frequently..

I would check/fold that flop unless it is heads up, probably. Of course it depends on the opponents, but that would be my first inclination. And I would have raised more preflop. It is already a big pot when you raise.

If you are going to bet that flop, which I would probably never do, you must bet bigger and show some strength. That's nearly the worst flop you could have for your hand.
