Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

Me being the other big stack here this guy has been pushing everytime I come into a pot or anytime I make a raise. Is this the right play to just go ahead and fold here. I am 99.9% sure I did the right thing here just want some reassurance. I know AK is a great hand 5 handed but with the top 4 paying here I think folding is correct since he has me covered too.

Hero (t4975)
Button (t2890)
SB (t6750)
BB (t2920)
UTG (t2465)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t700</font>, Button calls t700, SB calls [t6750] t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero folds, Button folds.

Final Pot: t1700

I would call. If he is really bullying the bubble, this is a very, very easy call. If the 4th place money doesnt mean that mcuh for you, you need to call this.

The pre-flop action doesn't seem correct. You raised, the button called, the SB called, you folded???

I presume the SB pushed. If that's the case, I'd call. Yep, you could be knocked out 5th but I think it's safe to say you're a favorite given the maniac lable you've put on him. And if you double up through him things will be different. You'll now be in position to control the table.

You didn't give payout structure so the answer could change if it was something odd.

You might want to try posting it in the 1-table Tournaments forum. The posters there tend to be very knowledgable about these situations. Intuitively it looks like an easy call, but if you take the time to do ICM calculations you'll probably find that it's really really close.
