I imagine the range that the CO 4bet me is (JJ +, AKs, AKo), which means I'm already losing.

My question is whether the BB still in play interferes or not so I can enter

I've been in a spot just like this live where the BB had AA and pulled a sneaky little trap which cost me a huge pot, but this is also a spot for a hand like 88 or something who is hoping to set mine I would think. I guess it becomes player dependent.

Personally, I'd hate to be jamming with AKs vs. a cold call to a 3-bet and a 4-bet, but we have some fold equity vs. a middle pair right? And being HU vs. QQ or worse isn't the worst thing in the world.

Curious to see what others say here.

AKs vs (TT +, AKs, AK) have 43% of equity. Most of the time we will cheer to hit our overcard. I really doubt if it's worth risking the whole stack in a spot that is going to lose.

Could the money already put into the pot be a reason to make the shove hero profitable?

I shove without even thinking. Too much is already in the pot which makes it profitable almost against any hand
