Blinds are 1-2-2
Minimum to play a hand is $5
Loose deep pocket player always straddle with $10
Since he straddled, minimum to play a hand became $20

Tight player - Short Stack = $130 (button)
Loose player - Deep stack = $1800 (to the left of the button somewhere)
Tight player - Hero = $900 (to the immediate right seat of button)

Hero has Ace King offsuit and is the first to call $20
Short Stack shoved all in $130
Deep stack calls $130

1. Would you call $130 and why? You will have last position post flop
2. Would you fold to the tight short stack player?
3. Raise? How Much? What to do when no ace/king on the flop?
4. Would you all in $900? Loose deep stack might fold because I play very tight

If I knew short stack has pocket queen and deep stack will fold, is it profitable to go all in with Ace/King in the long run? Equity question here.

Which of the four options would you do and why?

I would go for a shove to isolate the shover. No need to play post-flop multi way and I expect you will be in front against his shoving range and if you 3bet like $350 in total you will be committed.
