6 Handed online MTT, Level 1.
A  K  UTG +1 Raise to $60.
Villian (loose up till now) makes it $500 Straight.
I am sittin with $3,110 , him $2,541.
OOp with AK, $440 more to call...I decide that with over $500 out there and a big hand short handed to push all in. I didn't want to call $440 and play AK oop here tbh and figure if I am called I am probably racing and since I've opened alot of pots this level he could re raise with wider range then most.
What do you think of this play ?

I think it's either push or fold there, and since I trust your judgment and evaluation of other players, I would have to agree with your logic. If his range includes AQ and AJ or similar hands here, I like the push a lot. The structure of the tourney probably has a lot to do with my decision here--the more play we're likely to have later, the more likely I am to fold rather than push; conversely, the less play we're likely to have later, the more likely I am to push rather than fold here.
I know people say they hate to gamble early, and while I might agree with that in a high buy-in, deep stacked tournament, I prefer to gamble in the online tournies early to try and get a stack before the WHOLE game becomes push or fold.

easy push 90% of the time.

Yeah , I thought a push would be ok here. He instacalled with Aces though lol ,made me pause for thought if it was necessary to shove with blinds being so small.
