AKo shortstacked questionable flop push

[Eihli]

200ish entrants, down to 100, average stack is 2k, I have 650 and blinds are 25/50. AKo in EP, I raise to 150. MP and button call. Flop comes down 6c 7c Tc, I have no clubs and push.

Well, you are only going to get called by two clubs or one club with a pair or better, so you are hoping for a fold, in which case it depends on how many players are in, I guess.

I hate having that stack size with that hand in EP. Just open-pushing with this hand given your stack is probably not all that bad of a move, EV wise. With one caller, I like the flop-push. With 2, I grumble to myself about how much AK sucks and check, folding to any substantial bet. If these callers aren't clowns, they probably have pocket pairs (or at least one of them does), and unless it's like 33, it's pretty unlikely they are both going to fold that flop to an all-in that sure smells an awful lot like AK.
