Default 15+1$ Stars -- AK late

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

reads: villian is tight, doubled up w/ 78o after opening w/ it from mid position and getting all in on turn w/ mid pair. This confused me b/c he was so quiet all game, so it could have been a blind stealing gone bad, then good again.

UTG (t1220)
CO (t3160)
Hero (t3861)
SB (t3378)
BB (t1881)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t1600...

WTF - he's tight yet opens MP w/ 87o and gets in w/ middle pair? Sorry - but he's just a donk now to me. And there is not a chance I fold AKo here, very very easy push.

This Villain could be me...(it was not me,since i dont play turbos...but thats exactly how i would play. I`d never shove with middle pair,but in general i loosen up very very much in the end of the tourney, since everybody plays uncredible tight.
Easiest Push...What are you afraid of?
Even against a rook this is an easy shove...Don`t give guys to much credit for beeing tight in late stages...

This loses.

That said, like TURBO INSTA PRESTO SHOVE, and it's not close.

Well first off his style confused me, but villians huge raise in general is something ive seen a lot of times lately w/ 22-88, people just trying to protect the hell out um. My thoughts are that if he's announcing he has a small PP and i have no FE, why push w/ the worst end of a coinflip, especially when im chip leader. if villian was LAG this is obviously a push, but he only played one hand so far, so i was confused. i did end up pushing here but thought maybe it was too robotic of a play, or perhaps im just thinking too much in general.

If he has 22-88, he has AQ, AJ, AT, and KQ.

You pwn here. I really doubt you can give credit for just a mid pair here.

You all have less than 10xBB it's still 5-handed, you have AK against a donk who raises 87o in MP. Thinking done - push.

He was probably quiet all game because he's falling asleep at the keyboard...this guy had to be snorting coke off of the hooker's ass that is the LAGtard fairy for that single 87o hand or else he's just a donk. Push please.
