In this position and this stage of the tournament, i think you can fold AK. Because, is what some people said, early in a tournament, you can win in other pots, you don't have to shove right in the begin. But, in other situacion, your move was right.

Avoid Variance Early
Although AK looks good, even early, remember, it's still just Ace high. As others have posted, regardless of whether you are ahead, it's not worth the variance in this spot when you have nothing invested. Let the hyper aggressive players crash and burn early and pick better spots later in the tourney. I try not to ever get my chips all-in early in a tourney preflop. You may be 67% to win, but that means your opponent will be taking your chips 33% of the time and you'll be busted. It's just not worth the gamble early.

Tournament isn't the right place to " TRY " shove AK in early stage. Poker isn't only game of luck.
This is not recommended advice

AK is a good hand... but not in tricket/freeroll/0.01c....
before finshing reading what you were writing about the flop I was thinking to myself "and he should fold 'cause one of the shovers will have QJo and other AA or something like that"
Early stages of freerolls are full of "casino-rollers" so one strategy I can see is value-shove from CU,BU & see cheap flop with hands that have SOME potential. There is NO fold-equity or respect for a 5,6,...20...all-in bb raise

After you lost, it's easy to say that going all in was a bad idea. But if you hit a K or A, you wouldn't have posted this thread...Poker is not chess, you have to gamble to win, it's not only skill but also luck. How many times you are dealt AK in a tourney to fold it preflop? I am not saying to go all in with garbage, but AK is a very good hand. By the way, you could go all in with AA and easily lose in multiway pot.

if you honestly I'm starting to be afraid of this card, many lost money because of it, I vyigravayu her 1 time out of 4, it is very small, so I decided to play with it a little agressive than odnomasnymi Connectors

AK is best used when you are the guy saying you have a big hand. Threatening that you have AA or KK. Here some Bozo makes a huge raise with a hand that could and in fact was dominated. That will not be the case too often. Then another guy with 55 gets involved too so for you in this particular situation and hand just fold and pretend you never saw your cards. The bet is so large here he is unlikely to be folding to a shove and this early it isn't worth the hassle.

in low buyin 9 mans, i think you can look at this a couple of ways
1. you hope to have the skill advantage so no reason to flip early
2. low buyin players will often stack off with things like ATo
So, without more info, I think you fold to the huge raise early, unless you have villan specific data that they will stack off with something like ATo

In early tournament stage the chips you won is cheaper than chips on retain.
You have to compare cEV vs $EV and AK has a very good equity and will give you +EV.
There is a coach in brazil who sells: After shove in poker, there is no more poker skilss just statistcs in a long run...
In your shoes I shoved

I would not call such a bet , 200 or 220 is too much to call . The possibility for the other 2 players to have A or K is increased , 2 are in the pot , one of whom might have a pocket pair/overpair to the flop , another player might also call or shove from late position .
Shoving is neither a good decision , it's too early to gamble , instead we'd prefer another spot to shove , after we have seen the flop and have a made hand .
