    I have no reads on villain, but I gotta think his range is pretty effing wide here right?

    Avg stack is about 5.5k, so I have a very healthy stack and I could easily fold here and not risk half my stack but this guy looks like he's trying to give away his moneys.

    So, what to do vs random donk with AKs?

    You're probably dominated by a 33, but what do I know.

    Everyone here would say shove, or something. It's the 4th best hand in poker.

    AK is a good preflop semibluffing hand but cold calling an allin is a different situation. If he has a pocket pair you're less than flipping. I think you can find a better spot to get your money in if you know what you're doing.

    Exactly. Call. Your goal is to go deep and AKs vs. any random hand in a $3 tourney is likely to be +EV for you. Worst case scenario, you're dominated or lose the flip and you still have a healthy stack.
