i usually like to raise more with AKo, even from this position, such as 4xBB. Offsuit high cards have trouble winning vs. 4-5 opponents since they usually only make tptk and rarely improve from there (I think Sklansky talks about this isn SSHE). With a 4xBB raise from up front, you should be getting many, many less speculative hands calling you.

With only t690 and t350 in the pot, I'd either push the flop, or check-raise all-in.

You can't fold here though, obviously. Bad luck for you he has the set.

I would move allin on the flop. The pot is extremely important to you, thus I'm ready to just take it right now, instead of encouraging someone who has a flush draw.
