Shove a full buy in? Thats 8 times the 3 bet!

Personally, I might even fold this. Probably awful though.

Shoving is good as long as AK isn't the only hand you shove here. OP's 4-bet is fine too, but I'm in the shoving camp.

You 4bet.

You can shove/4bet/fold depending on the instance. Given the description, folding is out of the question. What do you plan on doing on various flops if he calls? Do you call the AI?

Your options are folding and re-raising.
