Early in MTT, rebuy is still available, 10-max table

UTG (recreational player) limped, UTG+1 (nit) raised to 3BB, MP2 (no info) raised to 10BB, Hero (TAG image) was dealt with AKs and shoved. Big Blind (tight) tanked for a while and folded. UTG and UTG +1 folded. MP2 called.

Stack size:
UTG around 15BB
UTG+1: >150BB
MP2: 50BB
Small blind: ~100BB
Big Blind: ~30BB

I don't want to play without position so I decided to 4bet shove
as UTG+1/MP2 less likely to have AA,KK given I had AKs.

Folding is definitely out of the question, would you choose a different 4bet size or just flat here?

MP2 called with AKo. Big Blind folded JJ and UTG+1 folded QQ

So you raised a 10BB 3-bet with a 100 BB shove in SB. I think that's fine, but raising to something like 25BBs would have been fine too. You were probably gonna end up getting it all-in anway.

Im more comfy flatting the 10bb (and there is no raise size that doesnt commit youre stack by the turn) and seeing a flop. Shoving 100b here is too much unless your goal is to rebuy. Even the QQ hand knew its too much and he was way ahead since both of you flipped AK.
