Hey Guys

Deep in a tourney, final 2 tables:

Poker Stars, $20 Buy-in (8,000/16,000 blinds, 1,500 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37720342

Hero (MP2): 317,579 (19.8 bb)
MP3: 176,562 (11 bb)
CO: 823,988 (51.5 bb)
BTN: 752,429 (47 bb)
SB: 829,106 (51.8 bb)
BB: 1,105,416 (69.1 bb)
UTG+2: 243,690 (15.2 bb)
MP1: 289,818 (18.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A

2 folds, Hero raises to 32,000, 2 folds, BTN calls 32,000, SB raises to 90,000, BB folds, Hero ?

Villain sitted in the table 9 hands ago, the only move he made was 3-bet QQ IP vs MP open, and check all the way thru in a AKxxx board.

My intuition sad that this villain is tight (He is a 2 star).

How should we play AK here versus a narrow range 20bbs ?

Thanks!

Less than 20bb, shove now AINEC. We have no real info on villain, and would have to be an incredible read to do anything other than shove.

Open shoving is also an option, but a regular open is fine.

Very easy all in, with 20bbs and all the dead money already in the pot, anything else would be very bad.

snap shove there man. 9 hands is not too much to tag a player as a tight one.
