Bellagio $1K near bubble (consider it a $20 MTT if you like)

[renodoc]

Villain is ?John Lee? very aggro older asian who has built a big stack. I doubled through him not long ago with AK vs 56hh on KK2xhh flop. He's been raising a lot, sometimes 2-bet pushing. Meanwhile, I have open raised at least once per orbit and had to lay down to a push a couple times.

Paying 9, 1st= $34K, 5th-9th are meh and pretty much won't get me a freeroll into the $5K 6 handed event so I don't care.

14 left. Blinds 800-1600/200.

Villian open raises to 4500 in HJ (55,000)

Hero (48,000) has A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on button.

SB is below average.

BB has a lot of chips but hasn't played many hands at all.

Hero ???

If you call, what is your flop plan?

If you raise, what is your response to a 3-bet push? (which seems likely given villain's recent play)

Anyone push ?
