i'm thinking that i usually am happy to get it all in pf with AK at the 25s since i'm looking at lesser aces or underpairs most of the time and the occassional screwing by AA or KK (see below).

my question is this:

what characteristics (if any) do you look for in villain to fold AKo in a hand like the one below?

it turns out that this guy was pretty tight (didn't know it at the time), so i imagine that i can't really put him on anything worse than QQ, KK, AA, or AK. so is it a fold?

also, this villain was full stacked or higher (AA just doubled him up), so does that usually mean a better hand if he's willing to push?

I don't like calling AI preflop without a "made" hand, I always do it with AA of course, and 90% of the time with KK, often with QQ if I feel the other player is happy to get all in with any ace, as is often the case with short stacks or someone after a bad beat.

I fold AK usually when I completely miss and there is excessive interest in the pot shown by my opponent/s.

Oh you mean before the flop? Yea I don't fold AK before the flop.
