Default One more AK preflop decision

2nd hour of the nightly Stars $11R. I have a little less than 6000 chips. Blinds are 100/200.

I am on the Button with AKo. 3 people limp to me. All of them have me covered. The pot now has 900 chips in it. I push.

My thinking was that a raise to 800 or 1000 chips would make this a very difficult hand to play on the flop, and 900 chips was enough to steal at this time. If I got 2 callers, the pot would have about 3500 chips, and I would be down to about 5000 chips. Not much left to do but push or fold.

Was the push the best thing to do? Or would a raise have been a better idea?
