Awkward spot with AK FTP 25k guarentee $75

[_JoeJimJoe]

I've been really tight after first break. This is the first hand I've played. No reads. I feel like with that stack villain is just waiting to shove.

In this hand I'm assuming villain is shoving pretty much 100% when checked to so i'm getting over 5-1 with implied odds but i'm forced to call off on a J or A high flop when i could easily be killed. Anybody just open fold this pf?

2nd hand... no way I open-fold that pre-flop. I like your raise. I would fold to the min-raise readless because he is getting all-in on any flop and you won't know where you are, plus his pre-flop raise size is alarming as a short-stack.

this is a rare spot where i c/fold. only hands he folds are ak aq. its weak tight but i think we are usually behind. only other option is to shove whicjh id prob do alot in heat of battle

imo the bet looks suspicious.
however, against a wide range, i.e., any pair, any broadway, you are ahead and getting sufficient odds to push him allin here.
the outcome doesnt look terrible
a) he calls you win
b) he calls you lose
you still have 2nd or 3rd largest stack at table, M of 18-20 and a more aggressive image
