Problems w AK 10NL

Basically, if I put a player on any pp except AA or KK should I be stacking off with AK pre flop? So many times at these stakes a player will flat call a pf raise only to shove if its 3-bet (its me 3 betting w AK). Well almost everytime this happens they show a small-medium pp, rarely aces or kings. Is calling their shove, or shoving over their possible 4bet the right thing to be doing. Obviously reads are important so against those players playing exceptionally tight this is probably not correct, btu against unkowns and looser players?

As you said, reads are important in this situation. If I understand you correctly, there is a raiser, a caller, you three bet and then the cold caller shoves.

If you are pretty sure they have a small pocket pair, calling would be correct because you are about 50% to win the hand, and there is a lot of dead money in the pot. If villain shows up with worse aces here (which they will a lot in my experience) this call is even easier.

Yeah that is what i was trying to outline. I have looked over the hands I have been doing this with, and I think I have been questioning this play because the past couple of times I've lost the pot to underpairs. Im trying to build my bankroll and I've become quite results oriented due to this, is this a problem?

Felting AK pf is standard in shorthanded. Sometimes it's a fold, but those situations are non-standard.
