Well the main point is the call is -EV if you agree with the range and consider it unweighted.

The second, less important point is that I'd weight things towards KK+ and away from AK, which makes it a easier fold.

Your point about AK calling = bad play, probably not very relevant to OP's decision. If you said that AK is more likely to push than KK+, then it would be relevant, since it weights things differently.

But anyway, please explain why calling with AK in position is a bad play here, rather than just dismissing it?

My thoughts on this fairly irrelevant comment -- Facing an oop raise, he's probably up against {QQ+, AK}. If he pushes he'll be called by KK+, to which he'll be a heavy underdog. He might also get called by AK, to which he's even. And QQ appears to be a slight fold situation. So, he's even or a big dog most of the time he's called, and he wins $48 otherwise.

On the other hand, if he calls in position with AKs and totally misses the flop, he can fold safely to that range, since he's now a huge dog. If he spikes an A and/or flush draw, and no Q or K falls, then it's all in, since it's more likely your a favorite at this point. What's your take?

When he shoves AK he gets people like me to fold QQ, JJ, TT etc. By just calling PF he's going to be missing 2/3's of flops and even when he hits he may not get paid off by TT-QQ.

I folded because we had no history, and knew nothing about eachother. Not sure if he'd make this play w/ JJ against an unknown. Looking back I'd probably call but at that point in time I thought I was either 55% or 20%. Knowing that I'm about 40% I think I'd call as I think he has AK a lot here.
