Default 6.50 AKs UTG midblinds facing all-ins

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t120 (6 handed)

SB (t4600)
BB (t1475)
Hero (t1920)
MP (t1015)
CO (t3190)
Button (t1300)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t360</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t1015 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1300 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t1180, Hero folds?

Any advice is appreciated. MP was about average, and button was a tight/aggressive player who hadn't played many pots so far.

I call, your getting great odds here, and I can't even count the times I've folded similar spots and they all turn over hands that I dominated.

I don't think it's a mistake to push all in to start but raising to 360 is fine also (although I'd probably make the raise a little less since if the big stacks are calling 300 they'd also call 360 and bb will fold most all trash)

This is a fold though. Your hand is definately crushed when BB calls.

Yep, $6.50 or not, let it go....
Unlike the KK hand, AK is not a made hand

Fold. Even with these odds. You are at least beat, and most likely crushed (KK and/or AA). And even if you're not against AA, you're likely sharing Aces with the other all-ins so that KK has you just as well crushed. You'll likely watch a double elimination on this hand and then be the short stack on the bubble, but that's still better than calling off on a certain long-shot gamble.
