Using Cloutier's thinking with AK

[istewart]

For small stakes NLHE, when you raise before the flop with AK, AQ, or AJs (etc) do you feel it best to typically let it go and not chase when you miss the flop completely? Either last to act and checks to you or first to act? I often read about people firing on the flop with a missed AK, prepared to slow down if called. But facing a multiway field, is this sound?

Thanks.
