SB is a MIS (Move in specialist) and I've never actually seen any hand as he got that stack ENTIRELY by getting people to fold. The button has been playing cautiious and I've been stealing some from him. I know I have a lot of chips but the SB has enough to hurt me. Would you call? Its one thing to go all in, its another to call.

BTW, I ended up knocking out the button with Q4 trying to steal his blind when both the players were down to about 1200 and I thought he would fold to try to get 2nd. He called with JT and I flopped a Q. I won the tourney when I had a 6700 to 1300 chip lead and went all in with A5 when the blinds were 200/400 and flopped an ace. Who knows if I would have won if I had called and lost this all in above.

If he has been going all-in EVERY hand lately I might be tempted to call him... otherwise with 15bb you can wait for a better opportunity. You're not a very big favorite even against a random hand so unless he's really pishing in every chance he gets you're better off folding.

He's been pushing 1 out of every 3 hands since we got 3 handed so he's stayed where he was since we got in the money. He seemed pretty tight early and seemed to push in proportion of how many people we had left. I did take out 2 people (and crippled a 3rd) in one hand in the middle of the tourney when my KK was reraised to 600 by JJ, called by TT and a short stack with K5 and then I went all in and took about 1600 total from the TT guy when it held up so we got short handed suddenly at one point.

You have a decent lead on him, so I wouldn't call him with A rags. I would want a little more than that to call him, at least AT for the straight possibility.
