Default Right Time To Shove AK?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

MP1 (t4805)
<font color="#C00000">MP2 (t4005)</font>
CO (t9615)
Button (t3555)
<font color="#C00000">SB (t13160)</font>
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t3490)</font>
UTG (t8660)
UTG+1 (t2490)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t500, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3490</font>,

$20 buy-in. Pushing OOP with AK against a raiser and a caller is a move I haven't made much but figured to try it when the opportunity came up. Does this qualify as a good time? With 15BB, the blinds are creeping up, so I don't want to sit back too much but should I be worried about the big stack making a loose call with something like a small pair?

Very easy shove, your ahead of both their ranges, you've got a nice sized stack to shove and have some FE against small pairs, and if you pick up this pot it's a significant chunk. And if you get called, by a pair, there'll be enough dead money in there for you to be happyish anyway.

Shove it for sure.
Yes you must be worried about big stack making a loose call with something like mid pair because a lot of players knows after readin Harrington Vol II what is squeeze and always put you on than exact 62o from the Dan's example of a squeeze play. But the pot is so big and you hand is good, and your stack is small enough to make it a very fast push
