Hero should have just pushed immediately. He is absolutely pot committed now. In late position action, villains don't have to have big hands. With 7xBB you have to put your money in with AK. Hero is a 3-1 favorite or a 4-3 dog aginst likley opponent hands, maybe a 3-2 favorite aginst junk. He is a 3-1 dog against KK and a 14-1 dog aginst AA. In addition to the money hero already has in the pot, the blinds provide substantial pot odds.

There are times to fold AK, but not short stacked in late position action.

Anyone who thinks this is not a trivial call needs to be committed to the home for the terminally weak tight.
