What To Do?
You"re in a MTT with around your 2k starting stack, not much happening so far.....then a new player joins the table with over 6k halfway through level 2 and starts open raising or 3 betting every hand, initially taking down pots uncontested, but  eventually running into opponents without slowing down.

You watch him/her through next 10 minutes 3/4/5 betting and happy to shove/call all ins with hands like J/5 v A/K and Q/Q (binks a straight), Q/7 v 7/7 (Binks a bigger F/H) and Q/3 suited v 10/10 (Binks a flush). By middle of level 4 he"s up to 20k chips while you haven"t really been involved due to cards and situation. You pick up A/Q suited and open raise to 280 with villain re-popping to 750..........what do you do?

You"re obviously a really good and experienced player George so I"d love to hear your reasoning here.

I obv went for the shove, my reasoning is that this guy"s range is any 2, it"s a great spot for me to double up as he"s a definite caller to my shove and pretty sure I"m a favourite (possibly even dominating). In addition if I fold I"ll then be sitting either waiting for bigger than AQ to try again or hoping that this guy or myself move table before blinds start chewing my chips up. I"d definitely have folded if I didn"t have the information about him, or if he"d been making these moves in occasional different spots and not facing many showdowns, but it was literally every hand.

Cheers
Grant
