Default AKs all in PF

15 hands into a small stakes STT you raise AKs to 150 (blinds 15/30 your stack = 1600) from middle position with two limpers before you. The cutoff calls, its folded to the big blind who raises all in to about 1500.
2 questions:
1. its folded to you, do you call?
2. its called by the first limper then folded to you. do you call?

my thoughts on 1 are that i dont want to get in situations invloving chance with worse players, I would rather outplay them later. Even a hand like AKs is only about a 60% favorite against QTo. Against Axo its about a 75% favorite, but the most likely hand im up against (88-QQ maby KK or AA) is just a coin flip. Since you will be against a coin flip about 50% of the time, your realy only about a 60% favorite to win the hand on average.Is that small % advantage worth giving up the chance to outplay them later?

My thoughts on 2 are that it depends who is going all in against you without further info i would assume someone has AA or KK. against crazy people its a call because you could be up against 2 underpais or one underpair and one dominated hand.

someone dissagree with me, and we can learn
