I've recently moved over to NL ring games from SNG and was surprised to see this, and was wondering if normal.

Pokerstars 1/2 max buy-in $200

I was the button with ($198) this was my 3rd hand since joining the table having folded the prior 2 pre-flop, and I have not played with Villan before.

I get dealt AA. Two callers and a raise to $6 in-front of me, I make it $15, SB folds, BB raises to $30 (over $200 in stack). Limpers and first raiser fold. I raise all-in, bb calls.

He sucks out hitting a straight with his AK. The bad beat doesn't bother me, but I was surprised he made the call for another $170 pre-flop.

Would you guys who play regular NL ring games, see this as a standard call?, personally I would only be willing to call this raise if I was holding AA or KK, am I being too tight?

No and no.

To an all-in re-re-reraise over my re-reraise, I fold AKs in a heartbeat. This is "should I fold Kings" territory.
