$3.4 Stars AK line check

This was one of the only hands I had played to date in this SnG, although I give opponents no credit for realising this. I limp as I am getting called by at least one person if I shove. I was hoping to hit flop and push, but it didnt work out.

Instashove over these limpers. Raising sucks because it would have to be huge so you basically have to stop-n-go, but you need to realize that AK is a monster and getting called by one of these limpers is great. Shoooooove.

Yeah I was tempted to shove, but was certain that I would be called. I figured that it would be better to wait, but I'm having second thoughts.
