AJs in BB with limpers in middle stages of Party 20

So I am the medium stack with 5100 chips in Party 40k guaranteed. The blinds are 150/300. 400 out of 2200 remain. I came to the table with 8000, the table has seen me go all in on a flush draw (A3s and miss), so they probably think I am loose player.

To the hand. Everyone folds to a CO(2300) who limps for 300 for the 10th time or 11th time. The SB(9500) calls the 150. I have AJ suited, I am pretty sure that I have the best hand. So to pick up the 900 chips (300 from CO + 300 SB + 300 BB of my chips), I go all in for 5100. I was thinking of raising to 1200, but SB likes to call too much, so I wanted to take the easy way out. Thoughts?

I normally shutter in fear of folks with 2300 in chips who limp for 300, but since he's been making a habit of it, we can't take him seriously.

SB has the chips to complete with any two and muscle around after the flop, even if OOP.

Personally, I like the push and use this move often myself (very rarely getting called and very, very rarly getting called by a hand that is dominating me)

CO may make a stand with KQ, KT, horribly played small pairs, but that's a risk worth taking.

Well the looose CO folded, and SB was thinking about it for a while. I thought he had a crappy pair, so I didn't want him to call. However he called with Ace King. Suprised anybody would limp with that hand, thats not good play right?

Oops.

Awful play in my opinion. There's 850 out there just begging to be picked up against limp-crazy cutoff and BB, so with his stack size, I'd be raising with air here. AK just magnifies the point.
