I think you gotta lay this down, though I would have pushed after Villain checked to me on the flop.

Fold preflop. Fold AKo too. Tens are the 1st pure +EV push here. Your opponents can actually play in a variety of ways to make AJ (or AK) a bad push. Namely they just call all-in no matter what they hold.

Uh... What?! Fold AKo? Because if your opponents call any 2, it's not profitable?
What kind of morons call any 2 when you fold A9 here, let alone AK?!

They don't know what you are pushing and folding here. I get beat into the pot in this spot all day long by hands like KQ.
If the SB/BB call 22+/A2+ you can't push AK. So my 1st statement of "fold AKo" is kinda strong, but against people with ???? calling standards it isn't a risk that I'm willing to take. It is impossible for me to say if it is +EV or not since I have no idea what they call with. If you push AK and he calls with QJ, you aren't going to be too happy about it.

That's definitely true. So, you've got to put a range on these guys.
First of all, Button should be calling a lot of hands here, even though there's a chance you get called and bust out. Getting it in with Button is a good idea generally.
While opponents can call QJ, and will KQ a lot, they're not calling any 2, and you shouldn't assume they're not calling any 2.
I guess a sane range would be 22+, A2+, KT+ or 44+, A7+, KJ+.
