Villain seems donkish, calling preflop 3 bets with ace rag. Haven't seem too much of him though.

Also, this is probably not the place to post this, but I feel like playing AK preflop is one of my biggest weaknesses. Until now, I've always tended to 3bet AK and fold to 4bets, almost regardless of villain, but I know that that is much too weak. I think I'm lacking fundamental guidelines for playing AK preflop. Is the goal to see a flop or to shove? Do you shove for fold equity or for value? Obviously, it depends alot of reads, position, and villain's range, but is there a general goal when playing AK preflop?

it realy depends on your table image . 6 handed is good to shove overall but is a high variance play . if you feel good postflop seeing a flop is better in some situations

I would also shove.
AKs is too good to 3-bet/fold and you can´t call 4-bet.
