$.25 NL HE: TPTK early in a SnG

Very early in the tournament, but I have already seen the player raising and those calling his raise overplay a few marginal hands (i.e. they are probably donks). I obviously 3bet with my AKs hoping for a fold, but the entire table decides they want to play.

The flop gives me my top pair, top kicker, on a table that I don't think is all that dangerous. However, with so many players and the pot already so big, a standard 2/3 pot cbet here pretty much puts me all in, and this early in the tourney I know you don't want to blow you're whole stack on just top pair/top kicker. However, I get the feeling that most of these players will either fold or shove back with marginal holdings hoping to score my stack.

What would you do? Thanks in advance!

I should make a c-bet here.
You have TPTK and there is a flushdraw on the board.

If someone puts you allin, I should call it...

Shove. The pot is already larger than your remaining stack. You will be called by flush draws and OESD besides anyone that has trips or 2 pair but you have no reads that suggest this is likely.

I would check because there are a lot of players and your remaining stack is too small but you still have enough chips to keep and try to win in another hand if you will see that you will see that you can't win this hand. Moreover I am not sure that you are the leader because you can't know that they don't have 3 of 10 or 2 pair of kings and 10s or 8s.

Sorry about my English I hope you understand.

Get ur chips in first. Yes KT might have called you pf and sure no $2 player is passin a flush draw or QJ, but IMHO you will get payed off by KJ / KQ etc enough here to make pushing profitable

Yea, you should push it in. You probably get called by all the draws so you're an easy favorite.
