I'd fold with his stack that big.

If his stack was 20BB, I think that's an easy allin, anyone else agree/disagree? Am I stupid for factoring in his stack size when it's all going in preflop?

Yes...It's not about stack size, it's about pot equity. Against an unknown even a hand like KJ has surprising equity.

When you said equity you meant likelihood to be dominated, right?

I fold AK against an unknown without much consideration.

i'd call short stacked donks with up to 20bb's.

Nope, you wait to see him do it 5 more times in quick succession, and then you gamble the next time.

Exactly, with a decent "idiot/maniac preflop" read I'd gamble but vs unknown or semi-good/tight player no way.

against limp reraise this is easy easy fold with no reads.

Looks like the typical AA-KK move in an early position. Straight from the book.....I fold and wait for a better chance to take his money.
