Call me crazy, but I usually just limp with AK in the early levels mainly because if i raise, some donk will push with 66 and I will lose. I play AK much like 33...if i hit my hand, i will hopefully double up. If I miss, i am done with it.

If it works for you I'm sure it's fine, just not my style. I like to raise with it, but ok if someone makes a normal reraise I fold basically 100% of the time.
