You - ~8,000 chips
UTG ~ 15,000 chips

Blinds: 400/800
Bubble @ - 30
Players left - 39


UTG pushes all in, and you look at AK suited in MP1..............whats the call? UTG has been seen push all in preflop before with a largeish stack and not shown, although said "kings". He is known to raise preflop, and push all in on the flop every time, winning most of the time. Not a LAG, but very aggressive when has a hand..........

Even in a satellite with a flat prize after the bubble i think this is a call. Youre unlikely to move up into the money if you arent willing to get it in with AKs. With a typical tourney structure its even more clearly a call.

so what range of hands would you call with here?

AQ, AK, pairs larger than 8s. you only have about 10 bb's, so its crunch time.

then again, ISAP. and life.

I agree with the AQ, AK. Id tighten up the pairs to TT+ since he isnt a desperate stack, otherwise 88+ would look good too.
