  AKo is just 43% to win against a 4%range. (equilator)
  
  as opposed to the QQ hand, you are an underdog here so the fold is ok
  
  why not download the equilator and play with ranges and so on?

  It's a fold. You can play with the equilator yourself, it's good to understand ranges and strength of your hands better, but what at least you should do since you're a gold member is download and print the chart from this article...

  ...if you push according to this you won't make mistakes.

  Easy fold Bkbart
  Try to use the chart burek2000 is suggesting but for NL20, I think playing more generally will generate more BBs for higher limits like just shoving the QQ hand I judged earlier posted by you
