Pocket Pair plays that still cause me problems.

What's the reason for raising the flop here with AK? Given the preflop action, AK figures to be the worst hand, no? Are you looking to freeze up someone with a pair of Queens? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I'm not saying it's the correct play, you'll see it often at these limits though. The thinking is something like I have big-slick overcards that may be good or has 6 outs to improve and/or a free card play.
