BTN showed T♦: T♣: and won 129,874 (68,472 net)

BTN stats 27/18/22 hands

So Im thinking this guys is doing a squeeze from a BTN position, pretty normal. I put him on anything between KQs+, AQ+, AK, 99+
I dont want to just call and see other players coming along, also If im raising Im pretty much putting him allin, so I rather go allin myself than call of his allin

I think shoving here is overkill. You are pushing away loads of hands of which you can get value from postflop. I think you can easily make it 24k here and shoving loads of flops (even if you don't hit). Also, you need to give him some rope to hang himself with a 4betbluff allin.

Your argument of not wanting to call allin is also a bit thin imo. Why wouldn't you want to call allin from a player with those stats when you have AK?

If you 3bet to like 24k you will invest more than 1/3 effective here. I would most likely 3bet smaller to like 20k and call a potential shove.
