I usually raise with a strong hand always to get those donks in MTTs to fold their weak hands preflop sometimes they get lucky and hit 2 pairs or a set on the flop.

I would say depends on your bank roll also how the table is at the time and if your short stacked, but if i am in any ug postion i tend to limp in, but any late postion raise then do a continuation bet if i miss the flop and tend to fold to re raise. But if someone else raises pre flop and I would look at their blind steal stack or how they were playing at the time and if I think they are pulling my chain i would go all in take my chances on the flop.

Well depends who is raising you , if a tight player raise 3x well you might fold them and depends on your bankroll. I don't really like to gamble all my money with AK preflop , I like to wait for better spots . And for tournaments AK is a very good hand and you can go all in preflop because there are blinds increasing and other stuff

Completely dependant on opponent, stack sizes, a tonne of factors. Every hand is different remember ( generally << key word, with aks i will not be scared to 3bet/5bet shove if i get 4bet, ako more inclined to call, just my 2 cents )
