Hey all, this is in the early stages of an 1000 man tournament, low-medium stakes. I was wondering if anyone would have played this differently. UTG and MP3 haven't played any hands other than blinds since I've been at the table, which is about 10-15. Don't have poker tracker on. Let me know what you think.

Stacks:

* BTN with 1825
* SB (Hero) with 1830
* BB with 2135
* UTG with 3875
* UTG+1 with 1675
* MP1 with 1735
* MP2 with 1820
* MP3 with 2230
* CO with 7145

* * 1 players fold.

I'm just shoving pf.

By betting the flop we're basically scaring out AK and some of the smaller pairs. Check, let them cbet, then get your money in.

Yup, shove preflop, you'll get a call and if you don't no harm no foul and a nice pot.

Postflop check-shove is good unless you get two people in ahead of you cause one will have you beat.

Ok, so preflop shove is good here? I just feel like with this kind of action I'm going to get called mostly by AK KK AA, being AK most of the time, and I didn't want to flip this early in the tournament.
