Default Strange push on the flop with AKo

I'm playing the 2-5 nl at the Bellagio.

I'm not sure of the exact chip stacks, but for the sake of simplicity, let's just say we all started the hand with $500.

The cut off (TAG and habitual c-bettor) raises to $25, which is the standard raise at the table. The TAG on the button calls. I'm in the small blind and I call with AKo (no hearts.)

Everyone else folds and the flop comes 5h 8h Ad. I check because I know that one of them is going to c-bet. I'm correct. The cutoff bets the pot ($75) and the button calls pretty quickly.

I think for about 20 seconds and then I decide to push all in. I know that any call will beat me, but in making this push, I might be getting 100% of a pot that I would otherwise have to split. I know the set of 8s is possible, but I don't think it's worth worrying about given the chance to pick up the $225 pot right there.

What do you all think?

Works always but once I guess... Just kidding.
I like it, but I think this is a play with a lot of variance and you might easily rush into a lot of trouble here...

why don't you just raise? this is live, button can have ATC. you're not even chopping most of the time. you crush AKAQAJAT and other FD.

i would just pump it to 225 and shove any turn.
