Umm push duh and raise to 200 preflop he'll call this is so standard

Yeah thats the one thing I would change about the first half of the hand, I would raise more PF. I definately didn't want a 5 handed pot that early in the tourney with AK.

So you think an all in on the turn is the pretty standard play? Anyone agree/disagree??

Well, since it seems to be a consensus that the all in is standard, I will go ahead and post results:

Just like the standard play seems to be, I push all-in, trying to protect against draws and maybe get called by a weak ace. He instantly calls and flips AJ for two pair, and I'm the first out. I looked over this hand a few times, and still thought my push was the right play, so I posted it here just to make sure.

Thanks all, I'm pretty confident I did the right thing here.

It's standard ... too bad you ran into something bigger. NOTE: Villian should be raising the flop here.
