$5.5 NLHE MTT: All-in with AK against a very loose player

The other day I was playing on a 3 handed table. One of the folks(lets call him fish) was opening with almost any two cards and was betting 1/2 or 1/3 of the pot on flop or turn. I even called him with a 10 high hand and won. So you get the idea. The tourney was a $5.5 buy-in $200 guaranteed and we were in the money so I picked up AK suited. He opened with a min raise to 800. I reraised to 2800. He 4 bets to 10000. I shoved for 18000 and he calls with A8s. He got and 8 and won.
Did I miss played? Should I have just called and later fold?

Don't post results of hands you want analysis on.

Against this type of player we should always be 5bet stacking off AKs here and probably a bit wider. Your play is fine.

Should've 3bet shove already against the loose opponent.

i would say that yer all in with ak sooted was fine given oppos range.

one hand at a time and process rather than results oriented...thats the way to do it..

better luck next time

This feels like more of a bad beat story... if you got him drawing to 3 outs I don't understand quite how you are needing confirmation?

Sure, I did post the result because we went all in preflop and there were no action after that but you are right. will do that from now on

I was pretty sure that I'm beating his range so I wanted him to commit more chips to the pot. I was afraid he just fold. He was betting all flops and even we played the result was the same I assume.

Well that's true. I wanted to know if instead of shoving I could just play a big pot with him in position and later fold when I missed.
