Ive noticed that more people on FTP than other sites will reraise with a middle pair when they are short stacked. Ive also seen more people at FTP play AK like its a tournament and move all in with it after a raise. I agree its a fold or all in play. I dont think you could be faulted for either play.

Agreed. The one thing that would get my radar zinging here is that this guy is sitting with about 40 bucks on a 100 buy in table. This means that (most likely) he's a chancer who'll buy in a little short and push hard on any hand he thinks has a chance, or he's a new player who is playing scared money at this level, or he's a decent player who's taken a couple of hits and is unwilling to reload (i.e. he could have his nose open a little). That would just about persuade me that it's a smart move to go back over the top of him. I don't know if you meant "he raised another 12 bucks" or "he raised TO 12 bucks", i.e. raised another 7 on top. If it's the former, it'll cost a little more to play (and get burnt by AA/KK), whereas if it's the latter you're getting nigh on 2-1 odds to move in on him here, so you might as well just do so. Most likely he has QQ/KK/AA but if there's a chance he has a JJ or lower pair that he'll be willing to fold after "testing" you, or AQ that he's venting into, then perhaps moving in is the best move. Marginal either way, I wouldn't lose any sleep over this one.
