Still have plenty of chips left. I wouldn't want to take AK up against 2 players especially at a new table with no reads for more than half my stack.

if this was a 4/180 i would come over the top. If they were suited I would do the same. In this case though I would probably fold.

Call. Button's range is super wide and thus SB's range is also wide. If Button is shoving top 30% that's 55+,A2s+,K5s+,Q7s+,J8s+,T8s+,98s,A7o+,A5o,K9o+,Q9o +,J9o+,T9o
SB's range is probably about 15% or 77+,A7s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QJo

Against these two ranges combined, AK is about 43% which is plenty considering the size of the pot.

I think ranges are a little tighter but I still think it's a call because you will be getting at least the 30% you need here.

Easy call. Especially cuz this tourney is extra donkish, especially at this stage. You'll easily see JJ and 88 here or something.
