AKs decision, 3 left in 20+2

[wuwei]

Trying to get back into SNGs, and this decision had me a little stumped.

SB was ok. Fairly tight preflop - this bet pot commits him so he must have something decent. Button was pretty loose and had been getting more aggressive late in the match.

Thoughts?

Pushes. Easily. Hand requirements loosen the shorter-handed you are, and AKs at this point? The button is as likely as not on the steal, in any case.

Yah, I think I made this a harder decision than I should have.

Here's the range of hands I put the SB on, based on his play: 88-AA, AT-AK. I don't think he's loosened up that much, considering how he has been playing and the fact that he's making his stand. I agree the button is likely on a steal, but I figure he can't get away from his hand in this pot. I assume they are ending up all in by the end of this hand. Does that change things?

easy easy push. dont be surprised if they both fold and if the button calls the Sb will fold almost everything and hope the button loses.
