AK raise and a caller

[topsoyale]

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB (t3075)
Hero (t2265)
UTG (t1175)
MP (t2030)
Button (t4955)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K.
UTG raises to t300, 1 fold, Button calls t300, 1 fold

Hero????


Both players have been rather loose for the whole tourney, particularly UTG. If only UTG raises I push here, but I don't know what the call means so I'm a little hesitant.

Bet amount? Or just call. Posisble fold I guess but not likely.

I push this, UTG is loose so he has a wide range, Button did not reraise, which reduces the chance of a big pair

Yeah, I shove this too. UTG is an idiot for not just pushing whatever crap he has, Button folds to your push 90%+ of the time, UTG either folds or calls with some crap that you're either ahead of or (at worst) flipping against.

Another reason for pushing is to elimated postion disadvantage
