Default $55r How would you play AK in the Money

This one has been bothering me since I played it a few hours ago. Villian has been quite since the bubble burst 18 hands ago. The short stack is playing a bit tight.

How should this be played?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Button (t1800)
SB (t7080)
Hero (t4620)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t1200</font> <font color="white"> </font>

How short does short stack need to be before this is no longer a push?

I think it doesn't matter how small button is, I go for 1st, so it's a easy push.

This is wrong, but he has to be pretty short. Like 700-800 or something. I'm too lazy to do the calcs so that's just my guess.

I would NEVER fold AK when I'm ITM no matter what.

I don't think he means fold it, I think he means raise, but not all-in

Personally I'd push unless button had like a micro stack.

Do you own SNGPT?

If you don't, you should really download it and think about ICM concepts and realize how there are obvious situations where folding AK ITM is the correct play.

If you do... wtf?

Yup I own SNGPT, but didn't check it.
Can see it's a pretty clear fold if SB push, didn't know that.
But to me it looks like he is stealing the blind so if I come over the top I think you have some FE.

I dunno, I'm a $11 donk.
