Live $5/$10 NL: AKo Facing 4-bet in a Straddled Pot

$2000 eff. We're doing a round of straddles and I straddled UTG for $20 and got AKo. Table can be pretty aggro preflop. V is generally tight player and it folds to him in CO and he limps. He's a middle-aged recplayer (likely well-off from other ventures) but he's not bad at all. He's a good player. Grinder button makes it $110, station fish businessman in SB calls, I make it $450........................ CO shoves! Fold-fold to me :(

You and why?

Pretty annoying spot, but you can't fold anymore in my opinion. You are getting pretty good odds because you already put 450 in the middle (I would probably use smaller 3bet most of the time, like 350), CO doesn't have to have AA/KK to play like this, he can have QQ/JJ/TT/AQ, and BTN has many hands that he has to fold.

It's not a dream spot to get it in 200bb deep with AKo, but I think we have to do so, because of our odds and the fact that either villains range is not just AA/KK.

I am calling it off but I don't like it. It's tough to give analysis on this type of hand because we can get so much info at the table by studying V. Players give off so much information when they play live. I would study V for a bit and try to pick something up. Was V tilting at all? Does he seem like he is getting fed up by getting 3-bet by young kids? If so he might just be spazzing here. I don't think we should really be 4-bet folding AK here ever.
