Down to the last 50 from 4000 of $10 MTT and been playing v tight due to being totally card dead and climbing the ladder. On this table only shown AA and KK in the last 30 hands both pushed when about 10 BB.

What is your action here?

kinboshi:
Either re-raise all-in, or min-raise looking to shove on any flop (or call a re-re-raise).

duke3016:
All in to the CL --- but thats just me, happy to take the 30k pot there and then, but also more than happy if he calls

Swinebag:
given the blinds, has to be a shove. I"m assuming this is a 3000 starting stacker so you are below average chips (Y/N?) so need to double up here.

No read on the raiser?

Calling is more deceptive but given how much of your stack that uses, would arouse some suspicion and may not get any more money in the pot unless the raiser has a monster (in which case he"d call a pre flop shove) or flops a monster (in which case you are beat)

Min raise practically gives your hand away but compels the raiser to call so gets another bet in the pot.

Shove gets all your money in, obv, and the raiser is more likely to call with a wider range of hands pre flop

Yes way behind the average but not short stacked.

Nothing on the raiser as he was moved on just a dozen or so hands previous.
