why is this a definite push preflop? Are we so afraid of playing AK in position with 15 BBs behind us? I feel like just calling here, even though we arent on the button, is fine because we give ourselves a good chance of winning a huge pot. It also induces squeeze attempts, and give sus the chance to pick off one of those AT-AQ, KQ, tjs squeezes.

On second though, maybe the stakcs aren't quite deep enough to stop us from shoving preflop, but I think if original raiser and hero both had ~40k, just calling preflop is a fine option.

We can pretty much neglect position here because remaining stacks are probably going in on the flop. Not much room for post-flop play. I don't mind calling and inducing a squeeze if we have a notorious squeezer behind. In other cases I'd just hate to see it folded around and the original raiser make a standard cont bet on a flop that missed us.
