1800, call shove.

I'd probably just jam it in with the pot being so large already.

Hero,

I'm beginning to worry that you need to take a little time and do a little reading on the side. Some of these questions are VERY fundamental. That's not a jab against you personally, but you should know exactly what to do with AK here without question.

Personally, I don't raise just to 1800 here. I push. There is already 1000 in the pot and both of these guys have 10K in chips. 1100 = ~22% of your stack, which is fine. When you raise to 1800, there is now 2900 in the pot and only 1350 to call. So, you may very well get a call, especially in a $4 and against these stacks. That would suck, because there would be 4200 in the pot and you have 2700, which is not a great spot to be in.

Finally, if you push, you have more FE against some players mid pairs and, conversely, a better chance to get all chips out of of AQ from others who think you are on a major squeeze.

I just jam, an am not too disappointed if I take the pot down before the flop.

C'mon. Barry and some of the others can be pretty frank at times, but they're always thoughtful and constructive. What on earth do we collectively gain by this?
