Shove. Given BBs raise, his range is anywhere from 22-AA and A4-AK. I'm going to probably go and say he has some bad hand like QT or QJ and wanted to see a flop, but without all the limpers to hit.

If he has 88-AA, you've got a ton of outs to draw to and stack him off.

Meh I think a standard BB range is more like 99/AQ+ and I think a 2x pot shove here doesn't fold overpairs ever. I think check/call is okay; he is giving you express odds basically. Turn I check anything and eval his action. You'll get to see the river free every now and then and I think a CRAI on the turn is a lot scarier to AA and stacks might turn out well for it.

I don't think stack sizes are good for playing this hand aggressively OOP against someone with such a narrow range.

yeah I'd fold pre too. But as played... I would lead out on the flop... say 450. If he pushes then it's time to puke all over your computer. I'd lean towards a call tho. If he has an overpair you have 13 outs. With 2 cards to come you're about 40%. I think it's worth the gamble this early. +EV
