$200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU (Hero)$3830.00:///////;SB$555.00:///////;BB$5445.00:///////;CO$3670.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with K:d, A:c.
CO folds, Hero raises to $3,830.00(All-In), SB folds, BB calls $3,430.00.

Flop: ($7860) 3:d, 4:s, T:d (2 players)

Turn: ($7860) J:s (2 players)

Is this a push? or should I have raise/folded?

I think you have to fold.. probably only push TT+ here..
raise/folding would be so exploitable and if sb would fold BB should always push because he knows how risk averse you are..

Imo just open fold.. I know it's a nightmare to do in game but I think it's the correct line here..

I'll forward to the other guys tho cuz I might be wrong here :)

I think it's safe to push 88+ AJ+ unless BB is reaaaaaally bad. If BB has a clue, you can push much wider. Your range should change dramatically depending on your opponents. Nash is around 19% which includes QTs and A7o.

pushing too loose here is so dramatically much much worse than pushing too tight tho... Imo we should let our opponent get the benefit of the doubt here and be nitty..

doing the ICM calculations now and TT+ AQ+ seems like an reasonable range..

This spot feels super interesteing to me tho...

Thank you for the help. Unfortunately he called me with 88 and I bubbled out.
I forgot to add that BB was fish.

This. I'm a fan of TT+ AQ+ vs unknowns too but AKo is just a trivial push without some SPEW reads. BB is even fairly risk averse against us here, if he loses this hand to us he's going to bubble somewhat often.
