Re: AKs too weak?
I would have also folded to this play. I would have reraised if I were holding AA or KK. IMO, both you and the villain played this hand correctly (with incomplete info that is). Big stack is letting you know he has a hand. IMO, that range is 99+, AQ+. AKs against that range of hands is not enough of an edge to sacrifice your monster chip position.
FWIW, I would have raised to something like 1,000 or 1,200 here, trying to entice one of the other stacks to call, and let the Big stack know that I have a hand. Your 3xBB raise doesn't tell him that. That being said, there's no telling if Big Stack would have folded his AQ here, so you may have gotten off on the cheap.
