Fold AKo to an open gross-overbet?

Another thing here. If he is a smart player then he will realize the size of the bet essentially does not matter.

You have 12K - 15 BBs. So even a 4-5 BB bet means he is calling any push from any of the other players including you if he has a hand he actually "should" be raising with.

I don't think so. If he raises to 3200 or 4000, that's where my AK has folding equity, because if I push over the top, he can fold and still have 11,000. Calling and losing leaves him with only 3,000.

The same player, several hands before this, raised to about 3600, was RRAI by the BB in the above hand, and folded, showing JJ.

A couple hands after that, Villain raised from UTG, to 3200, and I came over the top AI with AA, he folded, showing 77.

So, I think the size of the bet does matter. His bet leaves me with no power in the hand. I can either call or fold.

That being said, I agree that this is a call. I have a strong hand that is WA/SB most of his range, and will be seeing all five cards.
