Your going to the flop a dog and have a 35% chance of catching an ace or king.

And you're getting like 6 or 7 to one on your money. Last time I checked getting 6-1 on a 2-1 (of course you won't be ahead every time you flop a pair but most of the time you will be) bet is good stuff.

2. AKo does well against against few opponents and poorly in a big multiway pot.

AK doesn't do so poorly in big multiway pots, especially when the players are really poor. Of the times you don't flop a pair, you will flop at least a nice draw the vast majority of the time.

Theres a section on loose low limit games in

by David Sklansky (Author), Mason Malmuth (Author)

It talks about not raising in AKo but raising with JTs

Have you read SSHE? If not you definitely should--you might reconsider your answer to this question after reading it.
