Default Hand reading in a $50MTT

$50 'net MTT, ~400 players. 50 left. Blinds at 200/400, and are increasing in about 30 seconds. Top 30 places pay, payout is top-heavy, as per usual.

Player 1 in this hand seems reasonable, and has successfully stolen the blinds 3 or 4 times in the past 15 hands. Stack is roughly 5k. Maybe not true steals, as he may have had a hand.

Player 2 also seems reasonable, and hasn't stolen quite as often, recently, but has taken a few down from LP without a showdown. Stack is about 6k.

Neither has seemed to show down a hand in a few orbits.

Folds to Player 1 in later-MP, who makes it 1100 to go. Folds to the BB, player 2, who calls.

Board comes T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Pot is 2500TC. Player 2 immediately moves all in, which puts player 1 at a decision for his remaining 3900 chips, and swells the pot to 6400.

What range of hands does Player 2 have here? What range should Player 1 call with, and what should he fold? Does it make any difference if both players are thinking players, and notice that this table is

a)Loose, so steal opportunities aren't very present?
b)Tight, so steals are very profitable?
c)Aggressive, so that 90% of pots are opened for a sizeable raise, compared to the stacks?
d)Tough, so that one/both players think they aren't a dominating force
e)Weak, so one/both players think they outclass their competition? (pretend these assessments are actually somewhere near accurate)
f)Any combination thereof?
