Basically, you set a trap for an agressive player and caught two LAG's for the price of one. I don't see how you can consider folding AK in that situation.

Again, this is not so simple IMO. In the actual hand I called immidiately. After the fact I started to think about this situation more (regardless of the results, as I do this with hands I win or lose), and realized that there's more into it.

They are not crazy players. I gave my read in my initial post. I can elaborate on this. My best case scenario is something like for CO to hold say AJ and SB K8 (see schwza post above and my reply), but in MANY cases, even if they hold weak hands like 77 for CO and K9 for SB for instance, calling is slightly overall -CEV. I think that most of the time this will be the case, and cases were both have pocket pairs don't compensate for it, if you think about the fact that I'm fighting on 2 pots here (half my stack in each of them).
