How Do You Play This Hand?

Let me set the situation: It's fairly late in a supersatellite for a $5,000 seat into the main event. 17 players remain with 7 getting seats. You are seated at the nine handed table. You are sitting on a slightly below average stack of 25,000. The blinds are at 600/1200 with a 200 ante. You pick up AK0 under the gun and decide to make it 4500 (a little too much, but you really are wanting to just pick up the blinds at this point). A player in the hijack (sitting on 35,000) makes it 14,000 to go. He has been at your table for about 45 minutes and has played one hand where he raised pre and took down the pot on the flop with a continuation bet. Oh yeah, and he is wearing this goofy Pi hat. Anyways, it folds back to you. Do you:

A) Fold?
B) Shove?
C) Call intending to stop and go your last 11K no matter what comes?
D) Call and see what comes and then decide?

Think about your answer...........................................................................................................................

If you chose D, here is the flop J84 rainbow. Do you now:

A) Shove?
B) Check fold?
C) Check Call?
