Default The dreaded? AK

Kind of a toss up between how should I of played this or not, since its not a specific time...... I'll just post it here.

This is a reprint of a question which originally formed on the Winners and Losers thread (im not server friendly enough to know how to hyperlink it )

I've found AK to be a hand where its very hard to react when someone shows strength and you hit it.....In a cash game, How exactly DO you react to an opponents showing of strength when u hit ur AK. Ok you make your raise preflop (or call a raise preflop), then you hit your TPTK. You bet out assuming u were the raiser, or check raise assuming you were the caller and you're raised/reraised,,,,with no unusual read on the player, this is one situation I have not been able to grasp.

Tournament Id reraise preflop with AK 75% of the time, in a cash game however Id say its as low as 20%.... and the way I play becomes very different......

any input about these situations and ways of dealing with them?
