I am in 3rd or 4th place with approx. 5500

Blinds 300-600.

I am UTG and dealt AKo. Previous initial raise at this blind level had been 1500. I raise to 2000.

Fold to MP2, who has biggest stack-- he calls;

Fold to SB, who is short stacked with about 3800 chips. He pushes all-in.

You have ~10bb and could have just pushed. Your raise represented ~35% of your stack. Once the other guy goes all-in after your call and a raise, I don't like just calling. That's over half your stack in the middle here. Just put the rest in and try to isolate.

I really don't see how 1) all three of you get your money in and 2) you go broke in this spot.

You eventually got it all in and I guess the result ended up being the same. There was so much in the pot that you couldn't fold and leave yourself with the last 1700 or so even when you're probably drawing to 6 outs at best.
