Well with a bunch of limpers, it looks like your AKo is a pretty dominanting hand.

I'm pretty sure a 3-4x BB raise would take the pot pre-flop. They got stacks, but doesn't look like hardly anything worth playing vs. a raise.

push and be happy with the chips in the pot.

[Darby]

the only thing pushing here will accomplish is letting you know if someone was slowplaying AA or KK. I would just make a slightly larger than standard raise since there are limpers, like 5BB and play from there.

it will pick up all the chips in the pot. it looks like a steal, so you might get a loose call from AQ or AJs. it also eliminates the positional disadvantage from postflop play.

i dont see a problem with raising it to 250 and pushing any flop.

[Toasty]

I'd raise to 200 (4BBs) and take it from there...

Im not trying to come across as a know it all -- just trying to learn.

It seems like with 955 chips and the blinds at 25/50, you have enough mobility that you dont need to make a move here. Id be tempted to raise it to 250 and play it from there. Also, these people could be limping a small/medium pocket pair and call if they are fishy. They both have you covered so it just seems like you are unlikely to get called by a worse hand here.

Pushing w/ AK at any level in party sngs except for maybe the first one, you will get called by dominated hands more than you will get called by hands that dominate you. I'm not willing to play postflop with a missed AK in party sngs, so in this case i would push, but sometimes i will just call if there will only be like 2 other people in the pot.
