Default 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?

No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t800/t1600

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero calls t1600 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t3600)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to t8400</font>, 4 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero? </font>

I like a raise with it.

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

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?

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.
