I always look at AK about the same way as I do TT. But thats me and not you.
it's 50% because that's the prob. an ace or king will come by the river. it's different when you are not all in because after the flop you'll either be way ahead or way behind. AKs is ranked higher than QQ because of it's flush making ability which slightly puts it ahead of QQ.
