call with AKo early facing all in push?
 

this was in a home game last night. Villian got caught bluffing the hand before and has around 1000 in chips. He has been agressive. In the actual hand the blinds were 20/40 and starting stacks were 1500. Under the gun folds and villian pushes all in. I hold AKo and have around 1300 in chips. Is this an automatic call because I thought I may have had him easily dominated with Ax or should I pass this up in case its a gamble against an pocket pair so early on in the game?

if you think hes pushing A2-AK, call...generally though, if a player is steaming and im in a comfortable chip position im not taking such a huge gamble against most reasonable villains ranges...the idea that he might be tilting, however, depending on your read, may make this a call in certain situations.
