Default AK late vs. lilholdem & CHEKdezNUTS

This is late in the Stars 50k freeroll. Before the hand their were 14 left and I am above avg. and sitting about 5/14.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t3000 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

lilholdem954 (t69102)
CHEKdezNUTS (t110244)
UTG (t48501)
Hero (t70227)
MP2 (t63898)
CO (t28484)
Button (t72229)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t7777</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t7777, <font color="#CC3333">lilholdem954 raises to t68952</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CHEKdezNUTS raises to t110094</font>, Hero??

Normally I muster up a fold here because CHEKdezNUTS hand screams QQ,KK,AA or maybe A,K (using 2 of my outs vs. lilholdem) by pushing over the previous action.

However he and lilholdem had butted heads a few times and are both very aggressive. lilholdem has a wider range here than most and CHEKdezNUTS knows that.

Payouts are top heavy obviously so a triple up would be nice!!

Thoughts....

Fold if your edge increases when tables get shorter and you find a 20BB stack playable.

This hand is gonna knock it down to 13 and create a big stack you gonna have position on, or one you gonna have position on and a shortstack who is gonna continue to be aggro out of necessity. Not a bad thing, IMHO.

From what I've heard about lilholdem, he is very loose and very aggressive, which means he is squeezing a really wide range here. CHECKdezNUTS likely knows this is and is therefore isolating with a much wider range than normal.

I think this is an easy all-in against these players/this situation. I think your range for CHECKdezNUTS is way too tight (although i have never played with him).

Yeah, I don't think I expressed it clearly but in OP I meant vs. unknows in this spot I find a fold. However with these 2 players and knowing they know each other's play I think CHEKdezNUTS has a wider range here than you would normally see in a reshove like this.
