Was this a reckless push?

Paradise $50 NLHE. First round, blinds 5/10, original stacks 1000. Four limpers for pot of 55. Button raises to 85. I push 950 with AKo. Loose fish short stack with 300 calls with some junk. Original raiser calls with KK.

Let's see, you risked t950 in an attempt to win t140. Four limpers and a raiser, and you haven't made a hand yet. "Reckless" seems like a mild description to me.

85 is a pretty big raise on a 5-10 level. you have to give him some respect for a strong hand he wants to protect, and probably isnt going anywhere with. i hate pushing with AK here. call and take a flop, and folding isnt exactly terrible either. holla

It's easy to say fold AK when I tell you my opponent had kings. I'm not saying it was a good play. However, all I'm worried about is KK and AA. If I get called by an underpair, it is about even with the dead money. It's possible I will get a loose call from a reeckless fish or someone who thinks I am a reckless fish. In fact I did get a call like that for 300. Also, I don't mind taking down the 140 pot.

I think the only moves here are call and push. I don't like raising 1/4 of my stack with AK. Folding is really weak/tight.

I'd call.
