$4 NLHE Full Ring: 3-betting a 1/2 stack OOP with AK. Would YOU call the 4-bet shove?
Quite an interesting one I think. I made the call. what would you have done and why?

UTG ($1)
UTG+1 ($1.56)
MP1 ($1.78)
MP2 ($4.94)
CO ($5)
Button ($2.97)
Hero (SB) ($2.62)
BB ($3.33)
No useful stats but they average about 24/8
Preflop: Hero is SB with A
, K
UTG bets $0.08, 5 folds, Hero raises to $0.28, 1 fold,
Standard 3-bet from the SB. Ok perhaps the size was a little small but I feel nothing criminal. His range looks strong and I considered mucking the AK as a call would surely be bad but I decided a raise would let me know where I was! As a half stack I figure he isnt the sharpest knife in the block. I feel there is a chance of a shove...
UTG raises to $1 (All-In), Hero calls $0.72
So I'm getting 1.8:1 so I can call if he has anything but AA and KK. I feel its less likely he has these since I have AK. Should I have 3-bet shoved against this guy to save myself decision or would this have wasted value?
