I have always stated that AK is a difficult hand to play. Only good players will make money from AK without getting lucky. Also it is overvalued more than any other hand. It is only Ace high. People seem to think an ace or or king has more chance of hitting the board than others! Think about it. When holding AK you have 6 outs to pair. If you hold QJ (in which you should almost never play) you still have 6 outs to pair. Exactly the same amount of chance a Q or J will hit the flop, as an A or a K does! 
 
Open limping is suicide. A better idea would be to check and trap on the BB or just limp on the SB, IF you have a decent stack at your disposal. 
 
Being out of position post flop holding AK which has paired or better is a well disguised position.
 
I make small pots with AK unless im shortstack in which you MUST shove EP and MP. Fold to a raise UTG. Again limp LP unless you really have to push, at around 10 big blinds.
 
Continuation bets are crucial in deepstack play and just try and get a better read and force your opponent to fold. If he is holding 99 on a flop of 10s 4d 7s and he has alot of fold equity, bet, raise and shove wherever possible.
