$7 NLHE MTT: AKo vs Pre-flop Re-raise. How would you play it?

[flannelfoot]

45-player SNG. 7 Places paid. Final 7 players.

SB player had been reasonably LAG, halving his chipcount and rebuilding at least twice. A quick look at his name on google revealed he is a regular player at this buy-in level with a very decent profit for the last 3 years.

I'm TAG. Perhaps overly aggressive at times. I had been in the top 5 players of the SNG for about 30 minutes. Tangling with a shortstack 6 hands ago had halved my chip-count.

Hero (MP1) (t5,685)
MP2 (t10,886)
CO (t13,805)
Button (t8,624)
SB (t7,078)
BB (t17,015)
UTG (t4,407)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Ah, Ks
1 fold, Hero bets t2,400, 3 folds, SB raises to t7,003 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero calls t3,210 (All-In)

What would you have done, considering position and chip-count?

Probably shove pre, depends on blinds but I'm not folding to the reraise.

I'm assuming blinds are 400/800 (w ante)... just open-shove here.

shove pre and be happy with the blinds you pick up or be happy to get called.
Win-win situation, because when called you'll only be really uncomfortable when you're up to KK-AA
Anyways, no matter how you play it, your stack is going into the middle, unless you fold pre, which imo isn't even an option here.

Thanks a lot guys.

With those chips and ITM I would go shove for sure. Just a question if its better to raise 2400 or go all-in directly. Depends on blinds.
I would personally go all-in directly with AKo. Even with bigger range. With 7 ppl, lets say AJ+.

Agreed with openshove!
