I was a cash game player at FTP, stopped playing for awhile when the site goes down, now coming back in Pokerstars micro SnG.

According to the starting hand chart, "If there is a re-raise behind you, you only continue on with AA, KK, QQ and AK and go directly all-in. You fold all
other hands."

Through my experience, all in with AK after a re-raise behind me is not a good idea. So question is, should I follow the chart to go all-in?

Off topic: Can anyone feed me the news of FTP? I had been out of the scene for quite some time.

Starting hand charts are just meant to be reasonable defaults. In a lot of low-stakes games you can profitably 4-bet and stack off with ace-king. But like any default, there are times when you should make a different play. E.g. Suppose UTG raises 3x, and a tight reg 3bets UTG+1. You should fold AK in this spot since UTG+1's range is extremely narrow and probably doesn't contain any worse unpaired hands.

Had been losing every single SnG recently.

Lost hand like AK vs KQ or higher pair lost to lower pair make me sick.
