AK vs. Suited JT strategy debate

It doesn't completely. If he wants to play I'm willing to play against him with the small edge. I just don't want to give him the false sense that he can re-raise me off a blind steal and then take a close race for my tournament life. Which he's demonstrated repeatedly that he likes to do.

Against a opponent this aggressive, I think a push is best here. I'd much rather have +1.5 bb 90% of the time (and probably be ahead the 10% of the time he calls) than
busting 40% of the time.

Also, I have a feeling that this opponent insta-calls AT+
which is the only hands I'd want to encourage action on.
