8-handed at 2-5NL table and I pick up AKo. (Hard Rock in Tampa)
I raise to 5BB and get two callers.
First caller is short stacked and weak. Second caller (V=villain) has been pushing his stack in the middle all night long but has successfully built a stack of about 250BB. I have tangled with him several times, trading a few big pots. My stack in about 200BB. I have position.
Flop comes 7-K-7. So, I have hit my K. I feel it is unlikely the V has a 7. Short stack checks, V bets 10BB and I re-pop it to 35BB. Shorty goes all in and V goes all in.
Now, I'm covered by the V, but feel that he may be stealing, as he has shoved so many other times during the night.
So - how would you play this? (my play below).

I tanked. Hand range I put him on was a pocket pair Q,J or T.
Eventually called and he had A-A.
Lost my stack.
Call initial flop bet. Fold to shove. How can villain be bluffing when shortie shoves all in???? U lose to 7x,kk,aa and chop with ak. Unless big stack villain can shove here with kq or KJ u have to fold
