Only read on the big stack was that he will call an all in with KJo.
No idea what he riases 5xBB with. Seemed like overkill to me.

I make simlar plays.

I put him on 66-99. There's no reason to be stealing the BB with trash with the blinds only at $100. I guess he's just really afraid of an overcard. what was the result?

[Shark Bait]

I call. AKs is poop if you miss the flop. Not saying the push is really bad, but I don't think you need to risk it all yet. But then again, I am bad.

A 5xBB raise usually aint a steal but often someone having a high PP. If he's willing to raise so much, hes also likely willing to call your allin, and in those situations its likely a coinflip or worse for you. I would just call, and then decide on the flop.

AI.

You're a 2/1 dog to flop a pair, and then you have to give it up if you miss. He's on the button with a biggish stack and can make this play with hands much less than AKs. Plus if he's got 10 10 and the flop comes A Q 4 and you move in there, he won't call.

I disagree with the all-in against a stack that can end up causing me real damage. I would have just made a call here putting him on med pp...or depending on his betting patterns A/Q or A/K. Looks like a somewhat protective raise.

I am guessing he may have folded to your all-in if he is holding 5s-8s or something. But if he is the type willing to gambool, he may take a chance that he is ahead and you were trying to steal the pot away from him.
