I would be hesitant about gii pf w 80+ bb's w ak but in a one dollar ty it's probably okay. One thing to note is that people don't typically 4 bet shove 80 bb's pf w monster hands, so usually they're going to show up with the type of hand that he had... a hand that wants to take it down pf or see all five cards and pray they are flipping.

It can be better to play $1 at roulette than flipping +83BB with AK. no matter which buyin, discipline is important, i think

I agree that discipline is important, but my point is (generally speaking) in low dollar MTT's players are going to be gii with worse/weird hands with more bb's than say a $20, $30 etc... MTT.
I actually saw a hand last night very similar to the op's hand. And I know This is just one small example but last night in a $11 ty I saw a player cold 4-bet shove w 96 suited with 80 bb's during the second level of tournament. The 3-better called.... with AKo.
I wouldn't call it off all the time w ak, in fact I'd probably be more inclined to fold but a call isn't the worst thing.

V has exactly 5000 chips - is this their first hand?- This would tip me towards a call.

Risk/Reward and long run are two magical concepts in poker

Good luck..
