Re: 4/180 Early shove-fest, what to do with AK?

I would fold this every time. It may happen that you are up against AA or KK and even if not: You can be sure there's at least one pair out and you don't have your 6 outs to hit the board, because I assume that some K's or A's can be found in the hands of one or two other opponents. Not a good spot to gamble.

What if they all have pairs? It could be 66, some random hand from the CO, and QQ from the SB. In this case we are getting plenty of equity to call.
Hand ranges for CO - top 50% given OPs read.
Hand ranges for button - 66+, AJ+
Hand ranges for SB - TT+, AQs+
This a $4 tournament. People don't know what they are doing. Against 3 randoms (and one we know one is an idiot) in a $4 tournament, I'll put AK in everytime.
Dreaming up the worse case scenario doesn't make this -EV.
Here are some results from P-stove given the hands ranges above. Which are about the narrowest ranges I could really see these opponents having. I honestly believe they could be even wider.

Hand 0: 21.825% 17.08% 05.11% 139702 41799.67 { AhKd }
