Do you make this call?

Early in a SnG, blinds at 25/50. I've got about 1300 chips, pick up AKo UTG, and raise to 150. Folded to MP, who re-raises all-in for 3000. Of the previous 30-ish hands, MP has gone all-in preflop 5 times, 4 times behind limpers and once behind a raise. Should I call or fold?

Without knowing what he had each time he's pushed all in, its a bit difficult. He could be pushing with small or medium pairs, or even just when he hits an ace.

AK against a pair is a coin toss - personally I would have called, make him pay for that shit...

I say call - pot odds are right for a flip and if he's moving in that often you have to think AQ maybe AJ must be on the list as well. I guess the exception would be if you had a vibe that the table was really soft and you were sure you could finish well...

Other concern is when you raise with a hand like AQ AJ KQ junk whatever you don't want to have given the table the idea that you're laying down anything except a big pair to a re raise. I think AK/JJ are about the right level to say... 'you can't push me around'.

Ok. I typically don't call this if I think the opponent's on a pocket pair. But I figured if he's pushing that often, there's a good chance he's got Ace high or even King high, in which case I'm a huge favorite. Unfortunately, this time he had AA , but I still think it was the right call.
