Being it was the first hand at that table and you usually play tournaments what would you have done if it was a tournament? I think the same would apply to ring table. Personally I would throw the hand away and get the feel of the table, I'm definately no pro so dont take this as a golden rule. 🙂

Did he just open shove his full stack. If it's the first hand you've seen then it's a snap call. Lots of fish open shove very wide when tilted. Just got unlucky you ran into AA

yeah he just shoved. I figured he had a pair of some type and maybe it was a flip. i would have snapcalled in a tournament as well.
 
As I have specified in other contexts, when to go all in, if not when you have the big pairs. I think you did the right thing, only luck mattered here.
 
100 bb allin call preflop with AK not good play,but its 1/2c cash game why not😀 there šo many freaks play

He could be tilted and have A7o or J6o too, so it's easily a profitable call

of course you are unlucky, but this is poker, it happens here, next time you will raise 100bb and there will be a pair of jacks😉🙂🤔

Observing the table for a while before calling an allin with AK is my preferred approach.If I have AA or KK I will call an allin preflop no matter what.

The shoving with AA shows that the big stack is a total donk. He made a bigger mistake than you. However, it’s not a good idea to go all-in preflop with big slick in cash games.
