In early tournament play, AK is a in small, lose big type of hand to me. I generally try not to overplay it. So I usually open raise 3xBB regardless of position. If the pot was already opened with a raise, I'll call if it's a sensible raise like 3-4xBB. I'm not wasting chips on all-ins or overbets preflop. If it's a bunch of limpers I'll raise between 3x and 5x. If it gets rid of some of the riff raff that's fine. If I hit, I bet accordingly but if I miss I usually don't continuation bet unless I'm only up against one player. The blinds are just not worth it to lose my stack over trying to semibluff. I want to keep the pots small with them because even if I hit, it's only TPTK.
 
In the middle and late tourney (blinds are high and antes kicked in) is when I'll open and cbet with them frequently because it's less fish and donks calling my raises so I could get some folds if I miss. I'll also start 3 betting preflop because the pot is big enough to try and take down right there.
 
Also, late tourney, I shove them instead of regular raising because I want to see all 5 cards since it's a drawing hand.
 
DOn't know if that helps but it works for me. I really don't go to war with Ak until late in the tourney. Early tourney, it just isn't worth it.
