1. 10 BB is the magic number. Believe it or not, that is something I picked up from this forum. I used to let myself get shorter stacked than that, and I believe this was hurting my game. At 10 BB, it's time to going into all-in or fold mode. And remember, it is MUCH BETTER to be the one pushing all in than to be calling all in. Give your opponents a chance to fold.
2. With that said, I don't like you folding AKs with only 12 BBs in your stack. I don't know how the hand progressed, of course, but when I get that short stacked, that's a hand I'm running with, even if I have to call all in. For the times your opponent has AA or KK, so be it. But against anything else, you are a coinflip or better.
3. Don't get cute with those weaker hands in the BB. Take a look at a free flop. If you hit go ahead and push or check/raise all in (depending how hard you hit), and if you miss, let it go. Raising with those hands from the BB is just asking for trouble, IMO.
Good questions.
