Since nobody replied, I'll have a go. I would push over here. Sure, you will be going into a 3-way pot with some of your outs lost if either player has Ax, but you've got <9x BB and a great hand. Although you're not quite getting the right price if one of them has Ax and the other a PP, it's not uncommon to see something like Ax and KQ here.

I shove here. I think this is just there as regards $EV. If you where covered by both it is good but a side-pot with Button does reduce your $EV.

No offense but you must have some kind of read on the button? Anyway, you know you're not folding the button with a push BUT your pot odds are terrific here for AK, so yea I go for it.
