Default $11-AK in SB facing Minraise & 3 Callers

PartyPoker $11 Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2000)
UTG+1 (t1860)
MP1 (t1730)
MP2 (t4183)
MP3 (t2254)
CO (t1570)
Button (t1538)
Hero (t2390)
BB (t2475)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP2 raises to t200</font>, MP3 calls t200, CO calls t200, Button calls t200, Hero?


So we're looking at a min-raise and 3 callers. Normally in the SB against a solo raiser I'd add a little something to my raise since I'm OOP for the rest of the hand. Now, we've got three callers and I don't see them going away if I pop to only 400 or 500 and I can't c-bet into all kinds of people if I whiff.

Flat calling seems bad and I hate to flip when I have 24 BB. Overlay in the pot seems like it might be worth it. Thoughts?

Easy on the caps Erv. This is definitely a leak of mine. I avoid flipping at all costs early on sometimes and it's costing me money.

your not flipping when there's half your stack in there already.
As I said
Allin Baby!

Just to clarify. I'll flip in a heartbeat with AA, KK &amp; QQ on any level. With AK I get squirrely sometimes. In this case here, it's obvious that the overlay makes this an instapush.

I ended up raising to 500 and interestingly enough all but the original donk raiser went away. Spiked a K, led out and took down the pot. Went on to win tourney, shipped it and Hollad. Doesn't matter though, push was in order. Thanks for the replies.
