Easy call. We're usually chopping, occasionally losing, but even if we're never winning (and we are more often than losing, imo) we have 40%ish equity and your $80 call only represents 25% of the final pot.
I know they say "never call to chop," but in this case there are so few combos in his range with the case Q, and so many with random aces, it's actually the right call. Throw in some stupidly played PPs that "ZOMG I haz boat!" and you are laughing here.
On flop I don't like a c/r with AK. You have showdown value. You want to keep the spewy villain in the pot not turn your hand into a bluff.
Anyway, I would call as he obviously doesn't need a queen to do this.

Definitely not my typical line. He seemed to stab a lot with air so I thought I could check raise and get him to fold his equity unless he had 55-77, 44 or a Queen.
