I feel you have to raise in this situation or risk being put off you hand if as you say it is a very aggressive table. Raising is always the best idea with such aggressive people at the table. If you are check raising what would you do if two or three persons are coming in to the pot? coz you should be folding here? after a 4bet and re-raise / call X3 - 4 folding AK isnt always an easy choice (but do'able). So for these reasons id deffo pump and push with 1 caller.

i think its very important to know how far are you from the money, if i'm in the money i'll definitely push with that hand as stack is small. but if i'm not in the money i'll wait for the bubble and then start pushing.

Its not important if your allready itm or not or its the bubble. Allways think about the long run, playing AK is more EV+ then folding AK thats 100% for sure, so folding is the worst thing you can do. If you limp you cant fold anymore too a shove off another player with the small stack you have, same goes for raising 2,5BB/3BB, you cant fold your deffo too small. Wot better spot u need? Your micro and you pick up AK, chips go in anyway so deffo i want to be against 1 player maybe 2 players, so limp givs me problably more players, min raise cud be the same.
This is a no-brainer for me, itm or not, deep or not, 1 place before the bubble or not, shove shove shove with luv then pray it holds or everybody folds. people have to think more ''in the long run'', folding AK is an absolute big big mistake.

I would but a good raise in about 3 or 4 times the blinds. If someone calls or pushes all in then you just call hoping for a Ax card combination at the other end.
With your stack size, if you would raise 4xBB, independently of the flop, problably you will finish going all-in. Even if flop is very unfavorable, can check but i'm sure you will call after any bet. So .. all-in, no doubt for me.

Posted by bmobregaj: if you raise to 2400 and get shoved on, what is your plan then? personally i like the all in move, put the decision on your opponents.

You cant just make a choice based on your cards. Your still in the green zone, not sure why shokaku got a he is a good situation to 3-bet, some MTT players would kill for this oppitunity. Not quite the same for MTT as for cash, but dont go broke in an unraised pot. Personally I think AK is worth more than BB+SB, if antis were there then maybe all in.
