Default interesting 2-5 hand @ the trop

Playing 2-5 at the trop in ac at about 4am sat morning. * i have been playing TAG for most of the night.

UTG raises in the dark to 10, UTG+1 raises in the dark to 15. I am UTG+2 and I look down at two black Kings. I raise to 45. next player(drunk and tired) to my left calls, next player folds, next player( very tight) raises to 100. everyone folds to UTG(loose) who moves all in for 160. UTG+1 folds. Action is on me. I have about 400 left, 1 to my left has about 200, the player who initially raised to 100 has about 450.

The guy who made it 100 has been playing pretty tight straitforward poker. He raised immediately after looking at his cards. I dont really think he has aces, i give him credit for AK or QQ. If i raise here he may or may not call with QQ, but he should definetly fold AK. The question is, do I push back and hope he lays down a hand like AK with the chance he folds QQ? Or do i just call and give him a chance to flop his ace? i dont think folding is an option. Thanks for the insight

all-in? that would almost certainly make a tight player fold TT,JJ,QQ, hands i have dominated and could make a lot of money from if the flop is low.

Get your money in the pot. I push my whole stack here. It is only a 1-26 that he has aces...the only hand that beats you at this time. Loose/drunky is folding anyway probably, or might make a really loose call to go home. Get your money in the pot ASAP...

Op is not worried about being against aces.
He wants to know how to make the most out of a tight players range here.Standard is to to re-raise here but you can risk it if you want 2 and go for a sneaky line and call check raise all in on flop if he doesn't move in pre on you sometimes.Nothing wrong with doing that in my book.

exactly, i dont think moving all in is a great play, i wanted to see who would just call and what they would do on the flop, and who would raise here and how much.

You are getting too greetty on this flop. You can already take down a MASSIVE pot pre-flop by pushing. If you simply call, you risk loosing a massive pot to something stupid.
