You can in a sat. And I can say that without actually having to even read your post!

The only time you fold there is if the tourney is at or near hand for hand and the prize money is worth it for you. If winning the tourney is more important then you make the call. There is too much chance you are waaaaay ahead and have him dominated.

i cant see why the Button would push here, are the blinds really large. If the guy had a tight image, i would probably fold here, they way i think of it, it most likely is a coin flip, and you have enough chips to play real poker, and not just gamble. I could fold right here. AK is not a made hand.
Now if the guy had been being a bully i would insta call.

Alright but all im saying he has a health chip stack, and he could pick a better spot to play. The guy isnt gonna go all in with crap, he has a hand at least AQ or higher, he has the same amount of chips as you, its most likely a race, if your not confident with your post flop skills, then yea maybe you can think that AK is a made hand. Im saying it again AK is only ACE HIGH, not saying its not a great hand, but it is only ACE HIGH.

It all depends on the read on they guy. If the guy is a ROCK and has not played a hand for 10 orbits, im probably gonna respect his hand. IF he is aggressive, then yea its a snap call. It all depends on your read.

Villian is open pushing 20BBs in late stage tournament. His range has got to be much tighter than that. Unless he is suicidal...

99+, AJs+, would be the looser end of the range.
