You should also consider the fact that you stipulated that he would not fold to your re-raise. That is important. When you push w/ AK, part of the value of the play is the probability that the raiser will fold. If that probability is zero, then you are looking at a different ball of wax. I don't know this player, but many times that someone raises that much as compared to the BB is when they have decent pocket pairs that need protecting, like JJ-77. You are behind all of those. If you were the short stack or close thereto, it's an insta-call IMHO. However, why risk your shot at the real money when it's unnecessary? The situations when you would wanna push are those that involve players who would raise like that w/ not only AA-77 and AK, but also AQ-A9 - then you are at least dominating some hands and you can combine that with the probability that 99-22 may let it go.
