Looks like this has been well answered, but I'll just add this. It's *highly* dependent on three factors (probably more, but this is what I've got right now): (1) who gets it in first, (2) the opponent that's all-in if he got it in first, and (3) my own stack size.

(1) When you're in a position to steal, or re-raise, AK lends itself to getting it all-in first. It doesn't mean you have to push it all in right away, but if you're raised, don't be afraid to flex your muscle with AK.

(2) If my opponent plays A-rag a lot, I'm happy to join him all-in in the pot even if he got there first. If he's got A-rag, I've got him dominated. If he does happen to have a pocket pair, I'm only slightly less than a coin flip, so overall it's +EV.

(3) If I'm short stacked, AK is auto all-in.

Like I said, there are probably other factors as well, but those come to mind. Fold equity is your friend in a MTT (in my opinion, at least -- I know some others feel otherwise) and AK can be a means to that end.

Good luck with your AK in the future! :)
