If SB does not raise here, this is a no brainer for me. What would you do here?

Fold... you're in good position facing a raise, then a re-raise and you don't even have a made hand. That's what I would do anyway

Easy all in. You're getting 2.7-1 pot odds (assuming you go all in and seat 5 calls) against 2 desperate stacks.

I agree. You could very well dominate both, and even if you don't, you still have a decent chance of winning.

agreed. Push, you are getting good odds, plus u have them both covered, so if you lose you still have a good chance of winning.

I would fold. I don't like going up against two raisers with AK because often one of them has either AA, KK, or AK. These are all bad situations for me. Really the only good situation is that they both have 22-QQ and that isn't that great. Additionally, in this hand the minraises from both players are more likely to be strength than weakness, given their stack sizes. Finally, I am well placed to get in the money here without showing down at all. I'll let the two short stacks go up against each other, and can then put the guy to my left into a hurt lock.

EDIT: There are other good situations besides them both having pairs - AK vs AK vs AQ for example, but I think this is a fair bit less likely, both because that many aces getting dealt is not likely and because the minraises to me don't imply those hands.

Their min raises probably mean they are idiots who don't understand the proper amount to raise, as this is a $11 buyin. I find this is usually the case at the lower buyins.
