Default Giant WTF just happened

This happened about a week ago so I don't have the hand history. Stars $109 at 11 PM EST. 3000 starting chips. Table is relatively new. The guy that practically doubles it was moved to the table a few hands ago and called a raise but folded to a flop bet, thats all I have.

Relevant stacks (very close to what they were)

Blinds= 25/50
Me (MP1)= 2800
MP2= 3100 (not much of a read)
Button= 2200 (too loose and very limpy, makes some borderline awful preflop calls and doesn't pay much attention to position)
BB= 4800 (seems to play pretty decent, got his stack with overpair vs overpair on a low flop)

My Image: Very quiet. I've raised preflop a few times from early position with tens and Jacks but each time took it down (one was everyone folded preflop another I continuation bet a 442 flop and the guy thought and folded, he was the button in this hand FWIW)

The action: I open AKo to 200 with blinds 25/50
(I guess I could do 150 but the table was really loose overall and like 4-5 were going to flops; overall it was like I was playing a 180 man).

MP2 makes it 500 to go, Button calls, and the BB calls, 300 back to hero

am I calling or raising (and by raising I would say pushing is the only option)

so three players in for a 10X raise...i this pretty standard in the 109s? At the 10 and 20 dollar buy ins I just push this...if MP1 has AA or KK it sucks but you were the initial raiser and they shouldn't be calling much lighter...only problem is seeing another AK and two pairs

You would figure AA/KK/QQ would jam it in all in instead of just coldcalling so I'm not too worried about the other two, to be honest. They might have like AK/AQ/small pairs.

The one caller could have lord knows what.

Given the pot odds were receiving, I can't rationalize a fold.

However, I am very cautious after the flop here. I'm not making any big plays or bluffs on this hand.

FGators I think this is a pretty easy shove based on your set up of the hand.

Did a topic just pop up about folding AK vs Cold Caller + Reraiser?

Do people realize that 3rd into pot here is re raising so light with TT-QQ in order to isolate?

Jam

I thought about it and pushed because I overplay AK in spots and MP2 had the rockets. The other two guys took a long time before folding (which was probably like 9s,10s,Js for them).
