$33 FT AK 22bbs standard spot?

This is FT of small field tourney on PS. I'm the shortest stack, so I don't have much choice in this spot, or maybe I have?

Table is insanely active. The OR is running 33/27 opening A6 in EP into chip leader, etc. Big stacks are responding with 3bets or calls often playing junk hands post flop making big pots. I have tight image, ppl who played me at other tables saw me doing some plays, but now I'm sure they know I'm playing premiums only. I also think this will not discourage them too much if thay have a hand.

Do I have option to flat here, to induce 3bet + call from OR and than shove to make OR fold 55-TT facing big stack involved? Or 3b/call is better?

    Actually OR become a big stack himself just a few hands ago, so number of players who may spazz if I flat is small.

    Jam on FT. Don`t overthink it.

    Flatting is bad for sure, though you can consider 3b/c with specific reads or dynamics.

    Shoving is safest and certainly not bad.

    Slightly different (uncertain about better) would be raising to about 8k with the intention to shove any flop and without hesitation assuming he smooth calls. Obviously call any 4bet pre as well.

    Just calling is bad IMO.

    Folding is spank-yourself-and-never-play-poker-again bad.

    Shoving this hand is the best play and you're throwing money away by doing anything else.
