Easy fold for me.

I'd fold. At the VERY best you will be a coinflip here and there is a reasonable probability you will be worse than that.

Easier said than done, but learning to fold AK early on when others are very interested in the pot and you have the BENEFIT of position, is probably +EV.

The thing that makes this an easy fold is it is level 1. I would fold hooks here as well. If it was later in the game and you had some reads on these two it might be a different story.

Despite it being Turbo, I would fold based on the bets ahead of you, and the fact that if MP2 calls, you could be betting your tourney life on a 3 handed pot in which you at beast would be rougly a 1/3 fav. Even if MP3 had just gone allin, there is a good chance you would be on the wrong side of a coin toss, though it would be at least a reasonable call if he was known by you to be a loose/agressive and weak player. IMO, it being early, you fold and pick a better spot.

I fold there all the time, sometimes they show AT but not often. The trick is not falling in love with your hand before the action gets to you
