Can you fold AK?

[The Quiet Man]

Here's a little teaser for you guys! In the Dollar up last night I got knocked out by Gazza in the following fashion: Gazza raised $2400 in early position - he was sitting with just over $6000. I re-raised all-in for around $5500 with QQ thinking he might have AK or better still AQ. If I get a hand I also like to be aggressive in order to reach final tables - limping around is not my game. I'm probably known as a tight player so most fellow PL's would have put me on JJ QQ KK or AA. In my mind Gazza did a brave call for most of his chips and did indeed have AK. His bravery paid off when the Ace came on the flop. :clap :clap The question is would anyone on this board fold AK in the same circumstances or would everyone take the same gamble? Your honest answers would be appreciated. :tongue2 By the way, I think I would have played the hand exactly like Gazza 8 times out of 10 at least.

Re: Can you fold AK? After putting in 40% of my stack I would say you are commited if someone else re raises you all (so 90% of my stack) with AK. I would call and hope at worse it is a 50/50 call. One question though is what were the blinds at the time?
