AK in BB...raise and call in front
 

This is from a 3-table tourney, $5+.50. We are at the final table - 5 spots get paid, but the top 3 is where the main $$ is...

no particular reads on either player. the opening raise was standard as of the last few hands.

The call is weird, but being that its a 5 dollar I tend to think donk before I think Aces. I push this especially being that you said 800 has been the standard range. You have time to wait around if you'd like, but I think this is too much of an opportunity to pass up.

Yeah, i pushed this. i was thinking about calling and seeing a flop, and only getting involved the 30% or so time i hit a pair, but i didnt want to call off that much.

Folding was another option that I considered. i still think i would push, but would be interested to hear from people who fold AK here.
