Re: Pot odds/small edges…help!
If you are sure you are up against AA or KK, you should not call unless you are getting 4:1 or better on your money (you probably aren't). AK is a race, so a call is not bad if you are up against that.
I think the real issure here is your read. Think about this. If YOU were holding AA and someone raised, would YOU go all in?
Generally, only a beginnner, or a pro with an excellent read, would opt to go all in pre-flop with such a powerful hand. A big raise is normal, but all-in is not, unless the player is on a short-stack or up against a bunch of limpers.
If you are playing against a beginner, your read may be right, otherwise you are getting much better odds than you think.
