You know, it's funny.... we had this discussion at the table (and I definitely respect the guy who was saying it's a must raise hand, preflop), but even after that discussion, in the next two tourneys I played, I found myself calling with AK more than raising with it.
Certianly there are circumstances where I'll reraise with it, especially when I'm short stacked, etc, but assuming deep stacks and normal conditions, I really do prefer to just call with it. It allows you to see a flop, and it helps disguise your hand a bit.
Then again, I've always been a see cheaper flops and control the size of the pot and save the "plays" for after the flop kind of guy... I'm just more comfortable playing like that.
