Trying to get Braver with AK Preflop

[Galapogos]

Just before this I took down a pot preflop by 3-betting. Not sure if that makes a difference here. Not sure what to make of Slavenburg's overcall here OOP. He has shown he is capable of slowplaying AA preflop. Or what to make of a shortie's 4-bet from the blinds. But I'm not sure if these guys know what they're doing or not either.

Ridiculously standard?

weird action! mrs colombo actually intimidates me a little. but then again she has 50bb so i guess gamble it up.
and slavenburg...whatever, i have no idea what he's up to but i bet ur often racing here which is alright with the dead money.
high variance though. folding to the mini4bet followed by call woulda been alright too imo.

with all that money in the pot the 2nd time around u have to stick it in, nh
