What is standard with AK here?
 

FTP $10/270. 12 players left. I am top 3 in chips.

The table had been aggressive with very few hands going to showdown and so I decided to limp from UTG with AK and reraise anyone aggressive who raised.

The villian who raised here was uber-aggressive with PT stats from this tourney of 40/28 (220 hands). He has also taken losses from me when I showed down with him with better hands. He also started laying down to me.

How do you play AK from early position late in a tourney on FT bubble? What is standard? Once I limp and get raised, do you shove?

I like a raise with it.

If you're gonna call/fold, why not just fold to begin with?

Call.

Stack sizes are important, but there's few scenarios that I'm not pushing, were I to limp like this.

You gotta raise this pre. As far as his raise, shove over it since hes loose aggressive.

BTW I meant call as played to the all in (assuming it was a shove). If not, shove.

Why wouldn't shove over an uber agg reraiser, rather than just raise? If he's been laying down to you, he probably won't if he catches a piece of the flop.

You limp with AK hoping to get someone agressive behind you raising. Why not push? Isn't that what you were setting up with the limp?

Re: What is standard with AK here?
 

Isn't this exactly what you wanted?

shove &gt;&gt; raise/call

stack sizes absolutely necessary

that said just 3x in the first place and dont fold unless you are reraised in two spots or by a big stack, and then evaluate what odds you are getting and what theyll make that play with.
