I really like this play and it's a staple for me in building my stack with low risk. Anyone agree or disagree?

in a tourney situation i'm usually a fan.
Not so much in a cash game because you've still only got the 6 basic outs particularly with unsuited AK.
With this hand i prefer to see a flop(i'll raise pre flop). If i catch the flop and it's pretty ragged, then i'm in and raising. If it's a flush draw flop then i'll throw in a big scare raise, and if there are any takers and that flush hits, im long gone.
if i don't hit the flop and there's a raise, im out- that's why i like Ace King, you either have it or ya dont.
Still i'd rather see a flop with this hand, especially when there are 4 players in there because you can bet that your 6 big outs just got cut to at least 4 or 5 when there's more than 3 in the pot.

what does everyone else think about this hand?

(Just to note that this is a strategy I only employ in tournies)

I don't know about that. You will get called by KQ, AQ and such, and the hands like 66 or 77 that may call, well the pot is giving you overlay.

I don't understand. how is that low risk? its coinflip if you get called with a pocket pair.
do you figure that if they call a low raise they are worst drawing hands than your own?

seems risky to me...

Most players have Irexes covered so he is basically risking 1900 to win 750 chips.

If you asume he wont get called 80+% of the time can you not justify pushing with any 2 cards, based on fold equity alone.
