Only have 12 hands on villian so stats aren't significant

if you're calling preflop here i'm pretty sure you should be calling his all-in.

think about it this way: if flop comes q47 or a72 or whatever and he 3/4's flop and shoves turn, are you folding?
factor in that i'm interpreting this overbet as weakness/missed ak, and it's an easy call

[Vammakala]

I'd proooobably call here. You did and he had what? TT/KK/AA?

[Art Vandalay]

I like a reraise preflop here to isolate the short stack in position. If he goes all-in preflop, you can let it go then, but at least it saves you the trouble of calling him all-in on the flop and seeing an overpair. As played, call the flop. TPTK is good enough to call an all-in from a short stack, imo.

I think I call- I see desperation bluffs like this with AK a LOT.

Thanks guys, it was AK and the pot got shipped my way but I wasn't sure at the time if I was making the right play or not regardless of results.
