Default THAY3R vs. God

Mandalay Bay 10k event Day 1.

Villain is Patrick Antonious.

Blinds are 200 400 with 50 ante.

A little background first :

I had just moved to the table, and I had almost a full rack of antes, so I felt people probably thought I was pretty aggressive. One of the first hands I played at the table was when MP shoves for like 700 and I Iso'd him with 66 by raising to 2500. PA calls in the Big Blind and flop is J52. PA checks and I bet 3500 and he folds. My hand holds and PA seems rather annoyed at me.

About 10 hands later : (I've only been at the table maybe 12 hands, played one pot besides the 66 hand where I picked up the blinds)

I open in LP for 1300(~60k behind), folded to PA in the SB who makes it 4000. PA has about 14,000 left after the raise, I tank and then shove.

Some questions :

1. How wide should my 4 betting range be here?
2. How much should the future EV of having God on my left for the rest of the day effect my decision?

You should fold to maximize the time you can spend staring at him

Initial thoughts:

AQ+, TT+
It shouldn't effect your decision too much, but probably more so than if it was any other player

AQ+99+

I swear. Everytime I read anything about PA in a tournament it involves him 3 betting PF in a totally predictable hand. Does he 3 bet like..every other hand?

ZBT,
only the hands he can't open (like this one)

And when he gets 3bet he usually 4bets and ends up all in with like 5high or something.

he's just that good after the flop.

I'd shove 99+/AQ+, but I'd flat AA/KK. If he was a tad deeper, I'd also shove some garbage hands that I otherwise would want nothing to do with. If I had one leg, I'd flat QJ and smooth call down for value.

I might be a little more open to due to his nutso image (but maybe thats why he is God...because nobody believes him)

77+,AJ+ for me...
