What are you asking here? If it's OK to fold AKs pre-flop in this spot?

I guess it is. The guy you are playing against certainly seems reasonable. Without reads, it's just a question of whether you want to stack off with your hand. If so, then just push and watch. You obviously can't just call PF.

If it were me, I probably stack off here. Heads up for only 100BB, I'm generally pretty OK with getting it in with AKs pre-flop against all but the world's biggest nits.

pfr ~7 is too low for me to put my money. I fold.

If you've never seen him get out of line preflop and your image is solid (you said no real reads, so that's not a terrible assumption given your respective stats), the remaining factor is CO's image; if he's a monkey or whatever, then your SB raise might be read as an isolation play, which widens BB's range. Otherwise, this looks like JJ+ to me, and you have virtually no FE after he puts in $22, so I can understand finding a fold here. It's very close though, since he has fewer combos of AA/KK and might occasionally be pulling this with AQs -- so if there are any image/meta/situational considerations that slightly widen his range, you really should shove.
