Clearly it was too early for me to express myself, erm, clearly !
1) I'm talking solely about the pre-flop decision. If you make it 200, instead of limping, then no one has implied odds to call you.
2) In any case, giving people implied odds is less of an issue with AK than it is with a big pair.
3) Pre-flop. Raise to 200 looks ok.
At the point where you pose the question, on the turn, it's all situational. Depends how you see him, how you think he sees you, etc etc. I'd do my best to get as much money in the pot as soon as possible. If you're behind, ohdearhowsadnevermind.
