Re: in BB staring at AKo early on......
This is why I hate AK, it is just a drawing hand (no flaming I know it's still strong) and with that many people in you are certainly up against at least one PP and maybe two. While you discount SB is range is probably A rag and any pair, the UTG rasie would also suggest a pretty good hand since he is OOP with the big stacks still to go, the CO knowing UTG strength called so he probably feels good about his hand. I just don't think you isolate the SB which is really what you are hoping for with a shove (I don't think you really want a 4 way pot with AK).
I usually call and wait for the flop, which is probably the worst play and why I stink.
My guess would be the experts say shove > fold > call.
