This is a spot I still have trouble with. At 6max I would have no problem getting this all in, but how about FR? Does this guys short stack mean I have to stack here??

Villain is 17/10/6 over 65 hands and I didnt really think of this at the time, but his initial raise is smaller than usual.

I have been 18/12/2.4

There's nothing wrong with just calling with AK pre-flop. After all you don't have a hand yet.

Do you really want to get all your money in on what is probably at best a coin-flip, and could even be against AA or KK.

Full stacked I'm usually calling and playing out a pot, especially with position. OOP here, vs a half-stack, and considering you're both somewhat aggressive relative to a FR tag, I think I'm getting it in here most of the time.
