So it is only 2nd hand, I am on the button with AKo. CO who is a reg and he minraises to 2.5BB, easy 3-bet from me, everyone folds to reg and he 4bet shoves me. So what is the best pay here? Is it a call or a fold? Reg stats are VPIP 27.6, PFR 21.6, 3-BET 8.6 and I have 1 hand in my database where he had made 4bet with JJ. The thing I want to say is that I love to make 3-bets vs regs as they are working really good vs regs because they are playing tight in early/mid stage and before this hand in other tournaments I had made a lot of 3-bets vs this opponent so it could be possible that he is 4betting vs me a lot wider but the other thing is that I didn't want to make allin in very second hand vs reg with no monster (AA,KK).

I think you have to fold here, it's the beginning of the tournament and he seems to be a good player, based on his stats, so you are normally facing a 50/50 situation and due to the risk premium you need more equity to call. Against an loose agressive player i think call is clear, but against him it's better to wait for a more favorable situation.

With your villain's readings, you were 15% underdog against the villain, possibly, range JJ+,AQs+,AKo.
3bet was ok pf, but facing up co' 4bet I think I would fold.

It’s a little bit funky he isn’t made a normal 4bet to like 400-450, but I wouldn’t call with the change you are flipping most of the time here. You can sometimes remove KK-AA out of his range, because he would most likely 4bet it the normal way, but that depends on reads you have on him.
