Extremely loose villain up to this point. He had just doubled up on the previous hand after calling large PFR with q-10 and hitting inside straight draw on turn.

Flat call and see what comes on the flop? Since the guy is a donk, try to get it all in if an A or K hits the flop.

I just call this early, and give up the hand if I don't hit the flop and it's bet into me. If I raise here, I would really hate it if I get rereaised all in. If it was a bit deeper, ie. level 3 or 4, I would have pushed.

AK plays better when it can see all 5 cards. Villain has only 100 more chips to surrender he will surely call a 100 raise? Wouldn't that be the better play here?

CO+1 is villain, not CO. If he's so loose, why not push? you'll be called by lots of hands you dominate

I'm definitely calling here. If I raise and he re-raises me, I hate going to the mat, pre-flop, with AK. Let me hope for a K or an A on the turn, and make some money off him.

Flat call. You're too deep to push and not deep enough to re-raise. Call, use your position.
