Push or Raise with AK UTG, 5 left, 11BB

[AndrewB]

Played a $10+1 sit n go last night and had the following hand.

Blinds 75/150 (5 left)
SB (t4500)
BB (t2200)
Hero (t1700)
CO (t3000)
Button (t3000)

Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]


I had pushed on the previous 2 hands (won a coinflip and stole the blinds) to get back into the game. My usual play in this spot with 11BB would be a 3x raise, but since I pushed the previous 2 hands (winning the coinflip with T9o) I thought I might be able to induce a loose call that I might be dominating.

The way the bigger stacks had been playing I think I could have gotten some action with a standard raise, which would get me more chips than just stealing the blinds again.

Not much strategy here to discuss, so I'll try a poll.

I tend to push with my good hands (AK-AQ, TT-QQ) here and raise with monsters (AA, KK) and steally type hands.

With my good hands I think, I'm best but don't really want to have to think post-flop so I don't mind overbetting.
