AKo--playing for stacks

Villain is loose/passive, 44/7.5/1.0 over 80 hands.

I played with him before, and last night, when this hand happened, I saw him playing NL100-6 and considered taking a shot just because he was at the table. I didn't, and he found me instead.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $30.90
King: $53.60
CO: $25.40
Button: $61.10
SB: $45.35
BB: $29.75

Pre-flop: (6 players) King is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, King raises to $2, 2 folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($6, 3 players)
SB bets $2, BB calls, King raises to $14, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($36, 2 players)
BB is all-in $13.75, King...?

Is this an easy call based on pot-odds based, or is this board too draw-heavy for my top two to ever be ahead?

Is FT so tight you have to follow fish around, even at NL50?

Anyway, BB might have a flush (or a straight I guess) but there's no way we can fold here for only a 1/3 pot bet.

Call it. He has A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] here very often.

You set up the turn push. The turn card sucks, but you really can't fold here.

Well if he were a reasonable player you'd be ahead only 20% of the time here, making a fold mostly correct, although calling is fine too since you have outs.

But reasonable players don't have 44% VPIP. The turn action means little, he is committed after calling the flop anyway. The key is he must be a very loose player postflop as well and you are good.

Chasing members of my buddy list is a large percentage of my table selection. Is that a bad idea?

Edit: spelling
