You are giving up a ton of chips if you don't raise this preflop.

While I don't want to seem results oriented, I think that I played this hand almost perfectly.

Raise preflop. Fold the flop. Then you'd have played it perfectly.

Pudley read my mind.

As far as the number of limpers preflop, the more the better with AK whether suited or not.

I respectfully disagree. You have strength. Show it.

You also raise because you have a hand that will win more than it will lose.

Dude. Raise preflop. There is nothing perfect about checking in that spot.... The phrase 'crime against humanity' comes to mind.

Please explain why betting into 6 people that will call is better than seeing the flop and being aggressive if I hit is a crime against humanity.

A lot of your equity with AK comes from the money you put in before the flop. Raise it up!
