For reference, this was a $100 buy-in online event on WSOP.com.
I was pretty sure villain's flatting range against the wide 6BB shove from button was way behind my AK and that he would fold to my shove with most of his range, which should have served to preserve my stack. Flatting had more potential post-flop variance, even in position (I figured). Shows that you can never be sure how another player is going to act.
