AK no help on the flop

[jojobinks]

this is a 2 table tournament, 15 start, down to 11. top 3 only pay.

300/600 blinds
average stack 12k
hero has 7k

MP2 limps. he's reasonably tight/aggressive, has about 10k

on the button, i have AKo.

the small blind defends with any two. big blind is passive, with average stack.

hero makes it 2000 to go. only the small blind calls.

pot: 5200
flop: QT3. two clubs, and hero has the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for 2 overs, gutshot straight, and backdoor nut flush.

small blind bets out 2000. if hero calls, he has 3000 left.

i wouldn't be happy about it, but i'd push. you have to believe you have 11.5 outs (counting 1.5 for backdoor) often here, which is plenty. once in a while you'll even get a fold.
