Right Play?

[Vogelb5 0]

4K guarantee.. final table. 8 left. 8th..$103, 1st.. $1,000$400/$800 blinds. I have 70K, 4th in chips. 3 bigger stacks are sb, bb and UTG. One crippled stack of about 2,000 2 seats after me (basically an auto all in).. 1st to act min raises. I have AK, knowing the cripple will probably move all in, but for only 2,000, I decide to push hoping to get all in against tiny stack and steal blinds and the min raise.Min raiser ends up calling w/ AJ, the criiple stack had 56 suited. Cripple hits flush, min raiser spikes J. I'm eliminated.I know it's more imporatnt that you made the right decision then the results.. just wanted to double check.. Does anyone smooth call the min raise? Knowing the cripple isn't enough of a raise for anyone to fold. Do you see the flop and go from there?I hope the cripple will lose and even if I am outdrawn I still move up a spot since he was a smaller stack.. if min raiser folds, I steal a big pot and only lose a bit to the cripple.. I probably overexplained the situation, any opinions?BTW.. finished 8th in this tournament for $103, finished 2nd for $350 in another tourny this weekend. Also, cashed in the $25 buyin guarantee, but only in the first group of cash and doubled my buyin. Made a donkey play and bubbled 7 short of cash in another tourny. All since moving to BoDog this weekend. On a hot streak... and I think I might be on the BoDog leaderboard for the week (if my math is correct).

I'd prefer a medium raise over all in. I don't see any reason for that big an overbet. You don't really want to give the minraiser all of your chips in an attempt to isolate a small stack. It's okay to make a sizeable raise, though this might be a flat call, check it down situation. BTW, minraiser's call is terrible.

your push was pointless, a nice big raise would do the trick, and with an all in at a final table, you can almost guarantee that it will get check down unless the other stack hit a real hand, which in that case, u can safely exit

I'm either reraising to 4k or flat calling here, depending on the read. If min raise was this guys standard raise, I'll pump it up to 4k. If his normal raise is 3-5x the BB, I'm flat calling to see the flop. Too many times the min raiser is looking for action, or an excuse to move in.Either way, I'm ignoring the guy with the 2k stack. His chips are almost insignificant to the betting here if he doesn move in, just adding to the pot. No reason to try to isolate him here, and certainly no reason to coinflip for all your chips if the min raiser UTG is looking for action on a big hand (or what he considers a big hand).
