    Ok so in this spot BB is sitting out and I felt like the sb was just gonna attack me cuz it looks like I'm just trying to pickup the dead blinds. Only read I have on the player is that he is a winning player but we have no history yet as we are pretty early on in the tournament. Interested to see how some people would go about this situation.

    i think shoving is probaly the best play.. the villian has already commited 3300 so if he folds you've increased your stack by 30% while potentially protecting yourself from A10 type of hands

    Shove and pray no A hits when he flops over AQ

    This.

    I think you have to make the decision now, fold or shove.
    His range is prob 99+ AQs+AKo.
    As you say without reads its a very interesting/difficult spot.
    He must be aware that the flop hits your range hard also.
    Doubt he has AQ, AJ. More likely 99,JJ,QQ could have AA,AK but prob would have shoved so less likely.

    Think Id lean towards a reluctant fold, but its pretty much 50/50!

    yeah raise more on the 4 bet. And im probably just shoving here, even though obviously some of the possible hands have you beat...to much in the pot, plus some crappy draws to help if you are behind

    4bet more pre, on the flop, just call, shoving seems pretty bad
