Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 2.25 Tournament, 40/80 Blinds (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

CO (t1395)
Button (t1740)
SB (t1534)
Hero (BB) (t1460) (15/5/0/na/20) (VPIP/PR/PR 3BET/AG/No. Hands)
UTG (t1195) (5/0/0/na/20)
UTG+1 (t184) (45/20/0/1/20)
MP1 (t1350)
MP2 (t3542)
MP3 (t1100)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A
UTG calls t80, UTG+1 bets t184 (All-In), 6 folds, Hero calls t104, UTG raises to t1195 (All-In), 1 fold

Total pot: t592
Main pot: t592 between UTG and UTG+1, won by UTG

Results below:
UTG had 9, 9 (one pair, nines).
UTG+1 had 6, 6 (one pair, sixes).
Outcome: UTG won t592

Here tight player just limps before loose EP+1 player who lost last hand (probably in tilt imo, and small stack). Here i was thinking to go all in and push out EP, but was afraid he is trapping with very big hand knowing the EP+1 will push atc and maybe somebody will try to isolate him - like i probably should there.
1. Did i made mistake not raising or pushing there, and what to do next time in this spot?
2. Is there any sense to think like this on this buy in level, do players on this level think about trapping like this often enough to discard this hand like this?
3. Optimal play for this level in this spot, please?

thx guys

P.S. Am i to tight?

You have only 20 hands of info about your opponent, for sure not enough to do any assumptions based on sats. I am calling with AK here and I think you should raise preflop to kick limper out (if he shoves back you call).

With given stack sizes you should shove preflop... UTG only has ~13bb and you don't want him to be able to get a cheap flop with some randomness...

As played I fold to his strong looking shove... Since it's still early and our stack is fine.. and we can look for a better spot...

Although his line isn't always ACES or KIIINGS.. It's often small pocket pairs.. and we are not doing too great against those so..

This. As played call the shove.
