Those villains limp quite a bit.
1/5 of my stack in the pot looks like a shove but there are still 4 players to act.

shove...i like to stick to the rule 3xBB + 1BB/limpers but that would mean 500 which would commit you anyway. shove is a really standard and profitable play here IMO. Those to act behind you will hardly call anything &lt;99..so its only TT,JJ,QQ you flip with...AA and KK you are behind any other ace you dominate. i think best play is to push here.

odd stack for this situation. a raise to 400 is gonna leave you with 1400 in a 1050 pot, so any type of c-bet is gonna pot committ you, also making postflop play for villian really easy.

so i just push, especially against a couple of loose limpers. picking up 350 chips is nice.

Like John says.

+ pushing AK from HJ with 18 BB is still +EV anyway, so don't worry about that.
