Hi guys, dont really know what the best play is here!

This is probably 5 or 6 hands into the FT.

The limper is a complete fish, is running 39/0 over 46 hands and has only $100 in tournament winnings.

The villain on the btn is running 39/30 over 171 hands with 3bet% of 6.4 and is russian losing reg.

Interested to hear how others would play this, thanks

Pre Flop: (t21000) Hero is MP2 with A of diamonds K of hearts
2 folds, UTG+2 calls t8000, 1 fold, Hero raises to t20000, 1 fold, BTN raises to t42000, 2 folds, UTG+2 calls t34000, HERO??

im shoving, so much dead money when we get through, and Btn can easily turn up with worse, AQ 99+ AJs + the times he folds makes this a jam for me

the UTG+2 call is really weird, but I dont think it is ever a monster…assume he has like 88 or something. but with the money out there and our stack im getting it in here all the time.

Definitely agree with everyone that this is a shove given the stacks and our info on villians.

The limp call of 3bet UTg is a bit wierd. It does seem that the limping of big pockets in early position is making a come back but given the action behind surely he just shoves with a monster and his stack? So i discount UTG+2 as a properly big hand just a fish that doesnt know how or when to fold mid pockets or AJ. It is possible that the BTN is making a play against you thinking you are iso'ing the limper. Think I'm getting it in here, if you win the hand your in great shape to take it down.
