I'd probably call and lose to a small pair. No, honestly, I think calling is a good move here. It is +EV against an average raiser in that spot. If you win, you are in good shape.

I guess this is why I still am breakeven... I folded. I thought AK was great to push w/ but not good to call an all-in with. This morning I found AM spreadsheet and there it clearly stated to call w/ AK. I did not find out what villain had.
