Best way to play ak with a raise infront of you?

in agame with no blinds the first person to open without the nuts is a poor player.
in a short stack game the first player t cold call ithout the nuts is the same.
I always advocate a cold call with AK and still will.
To call 3 of a 5 stack without the nuts sint good imo. Either raise all in and take the flip or fold.
