Default 1/2 NL300 Live: I call, then push w/ AK preflop 4-way

<font color="green"> Unique hand for me w/ AKo considering all the action was PF. Any feedback is cool.

Hero has very tight image, as in one of those days where you're playing like 1hand / hr. 85o, J4o, for about 8hrs. We're a few hours in, and my image is established. The table is mostly tight.</font>

<font color="blue"> $28 UTG is a quiet asian donk, loose &amp; bad.
~$425 EMP is LAG, raising Q9o PF &amp; betting lots of flops, doing well. Average guy who likes beer &amp; football.
~$300 Hero in CO. Forehead stamped w/ a "nit" sign. Hasn't really said a word in hours, nor shows much emotion. (Out of character for me, but I've been up 24hrs+. They don't know that).
$57 BB is your middle class kid out of college. Okay preflop, but not as good as he thinks he is, cuz postflop sux.</font>

Full Ring 1/2 NL300. Hero is dealt AKo in CO.
UTG pushes for $28, LAG calls, Hero takes some time then calls, BB thinks then pushes $57, LAG calls $29, Hero thinks, then pushes.

<font color="blue">Edited to add: UTG has lost a few hands recently. I didn't give his UTG push much respect. </font>

I'm not sure I like your push because you're not winning any money from LAG by making him fold. Sure you are isolating, but it seems BB would have a hand, given his push after the previous action.

I guess I just call and reassess post-flop.

all you are doing is folding a hand you're likely dominating.

I think I might have raised 80-90 more after LAG calls to try and isolate the all in and force out LAG, and leave dead money in the pot.

When it was back to me, I figured if I call, then there's about $200 in the pot, with me having about $240 left &amp; LAG covering. This guy could easily have a hand like 87o or Q9s and some PP too (which I figured would fold, especially with my image), but I highly doubted a premium hand. Don't I want to ensure that I see all five cards at this point?

I thought that it was worth a 3-way race contributing 25% to the main pot &amp; a 2-way race contribution 33% of the side pot.

When the action got to you the first time, you should have raised. Given that you didn't youre in a very nasty situation.
