NL8 facing 4 bet from random w/AK

Dilema of AK

At these levels (NL8/NL10) where random range is dam narrow regardless of effective stack are we happy getting it in here
Is AK not just Ace high, does AK go up in value versus Regs as opposed to randoms or do we always think randoms get it in bad
Or when 4 bet like this is is oppo turning their cards face up, so it's a fold
Versus randoms are we better off flatting here and taking a flop
At these levels hardly anyone 3 bet's let alone 4 bet's without AA/KK unless they have form, does anyone agree with this or am I just getting it in regardless w/AK 100% of the time when facing a 4 bet

Note sure I should be

    Once you 3bet you have to get it in IMO, especially just 76bbs effective.

    If however you think there's more value in calling IP and seeing what flop brings you could do that but for me AK is just too big to slow play like that.

    Also I presume this is a random which for me makes it even more profitable to get it in.

    Even if effective is 100bb and we are 4 bet like this by a random, do we happily ship it
    I always thought yes, but starting to change my mind when readless versus random

    Happier to get it in v randoms than v regularse's!

    It's probably Queens, jacks, or another AK. Occsionally gonna be AA/KK obv. 

    But the times they peel your 3b with worse hands and fold flop/stack off when you're dominating them post flop makes the 3b/get it in line the right one. imo ofc.

    Vs random im getting it in here

    does look very strong but cant fold AK when ppl get attached to KQ/KJ/suited cards, against a random range AK gotta be crushing. If its against a reg bit more sigh but at least you can narrow their range a bit more then close your eyes and click :p
