Default $6.5t AKs - was this played wrong?

$6.5 18 person turbo, 4 places pay

Was this terrible or wrong? I have been raising 3xBB + 1BB for the limper lately and once the Btn and UTG called I am trying to take this down on the flop. Thanks-

Shove pre-flop, pot is over 20% of your stack.

Well, you start PF with 11 BB. Without a limper, it may be a little too much to open-push, but after the limper, maybe you should push? That avoids the tough spot on the flop.

On the flop, you are talking about a C-bet into 2 opponents. You still have 1500 left, not really dead, so you might check/fold the flop. Because your all-in c-bet is a small % of the flop, both opponents have good odds to call, so I think your bet has a low % chance of getting both to fold.

You should be shoving pf without the limper, 11x doesn't work well for a raise &amp; a c/b. Shove 14x or less or thereabouts.

I understand what you're feeling--you have a good hand, you want to extract some value, and you have 11BB which feels like too much to shove with but in actuality is not nearly enough to raise with. So basically you have to shove, whether you like it or not.
