Hello,

Hmmm I don't see any harm in pushing if the villain was being silly and playing the whole deck. Although you may be isolating yourself with better hands or going for a flip with pairs. Depends on how you're playing.
Calling the 3bet and playing the hand postflop is an option, you leave his entire range in and according to the flop you decide how to play the hand.

No harm in playing All in with AK in 2NL, you can go post flop a lot but more often than not its fine to go in pre unless you have some reads.
P. S. That bjrtyuk guy is a true maniac, i played vs him yesterday at 5nl anf he is nuts induce him a ton with good hands, he will spew like a monkey and you get his stack, by the end of my 1k hand session i had to even 5b the guy pre from the blinds vs his bu range since he 4bets almost always so yeah 😀

Against this particular villain a over shove is fine, but against most villains you flipping in best case if you get called.

Side note, I don't think it's good etiquette to post player names into hand reviews in public forums as it gives other people who play on the same site a view into how you AND other villains play.

We've already seen in this post how someone else has played against that same person.

It might be worth replacing names with "player x" in this post and future posts. Bare in mind as I said earlier you are also identify your own player name and strategy at the table for others on here who play your limit, that at the very least is gonna be -ev 😀
