Default $5+0.50 Passive Line with AKs Early

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t690)
UTG+1 (t1210)
MP1 (t2300)
MP2 (t2890)
MP3 (t850)
Hero (t1440)
Button (t1370)
SB (t1380)
BB (t1370)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t90</font>, UTG+1 calls t90, MP1 calls t90, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, Hero calls t90

An UTG raise and then two calls - the options are call and raise. I can definitely see myself playing a mulitway if I reraise and don't feel like I can continue if I miss the flop. Am I wrong? Should I reraise anyway?

If you reraise you pretty much have to shove, making it 400 or something is gross with these stacks. Even with the dead money, since UTG is at least decent enough to properly size his raise, I like calling better in position, since I would like to believe that my edge in a 5 dollar sng is big enough to warrant not wanting to get it in with AK early on.

I like shoving here, but i like to shove with AK a lot. It's great +EV and if you do get knocked out you can open up a new one easily. With so much dead money, i'm just shoving and we're likely collecting the pot, in a flip, or dominating AQ-AT.

Push preflop. 315 in the pot already.
