Default Re: AK, M ratio = 6.5, Is this a Push?

I agree with everyone and I indeed pushed.
But I feel it is an interesting hand and like to discuss some other options.

First, I will never fold here. I am not realy worry about AA or KK here. There is no sign MP1 has AA or KK. It is just a typical 3xBB raise.

My thinking was I want take this pot down PF. I want everybody behind me fold. I want the 3xBB raiser fold with my push. AK is a very good hand. But it is not bullet proof.
Even 32 has a good percentage chance to outdraw AK.
Is this "take the pot down now" a good or bad thinking?

If I want to take this pot down now, what is the best way to get people fold? I can raise from $1800 to $4000 or $5000 or push my $8800 all in. Which one has better FE?
Sometimes, I feel a big raise scare people more than all in pushes. I am ready to commit all my chips. Just want to know which has better FE. What do you think?

I am relatively short stacked (M=6.5, stack=14xBB).
Should I forget about "take this pot down now",
instead try to get more chips in the pot and try to win more?
You don't get many hands like AK. Should we try to win more chips with it? Is this a bad thinking? why is it bad?
To win more chips, we can call $1800 bet and hope to get more callers. Or we can min-raise the MP1 and hope MP1 will call min-raises.
I know to get more callers or get raiser to call you, you have bigger risk to loose the pot.
Is this the right situation to take such risk?
