Can I do this with AKo?
 
Dumb, smart or neutral? Never tried this before with less than KK. Early, this is my 5th table so far in about 40 hands so no reads.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) converter

Hero (t2665)
UTG+1 (t3195)
MP1 (t1660)
MP2 (t3675)
MP3 (t2760)
CO (t2740)
Button (t4670)
SB (t3400)
BB (t2795)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero calls t50, UTG+1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t50, CO calls t50, Button calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t100</font>, BB calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2665</font>

Stupid overbet or pwning limpers?

Raising here is fine IMO, put is a push necessary?

I think the push is OK here. It is a big overbet of like 8x pot, but you want to push with AK.

A smaller reraise or a flat call are also possible.

That's why I posted. I hadn't counted on so many limpers, otherwise I'd have happily played a little postflop. Plus I thought a push might get some nervous pairs to fold, and some hands I dominate to call.

I dont think its worth risking your entire stack on AKo here. I could understand it if the blinds are bigger, and if you have a strong read on the players, but neither is the case here. If you pick up this pot, it will increase your stack by less than 1/6. If you get called youll be behind way more often then your ahead. I think a raise to 850 does the job here. If you do get called, most likley it will be by the SB who you have now isolated. You have position on him. A continuation bet if checked to probably will take down the pot. I think the risk is too big for the reward.

BTW, the SB min-raise looks fishy. If he happens to come over the top of you all-in, your able to give him credit for AA,KK and get out without losing your stack. (although youve lost 1/3)
