Call. Villian's stats aren't that loose, he's going to have AA here a good amount of the time, not always of course but still. Another problem is that this is going to be a four way pot possibly. I think your equity would be slightly negative shoving now, while calling let's you make more money after the flop if you hit. For reraising all-in to be better, I would think villian would have to have aces less than a third of the time.

Call. You can close the action here and will have good relative position on the flop.

If CO was 3betting maniacally and u guys had a history I think 4bettings fine. But I may still opt to call cuz if u 4bet things may turn into a 4way preflop gamble fest, and I dont much care for those.

Call, since you have a NFD here and your ace is probably a blocker for someone's AAxx hand.

call

even if villain doesn't have aa here you are not going to have a very big edge

position gives you such a big edge post-flop that calling is a much better play against a good opponent - against a donk id jam more often but again calling with position is never a bad play here
