I shoved since i had nearly 1/5 of my stack but is this ok to push this early of the stt?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

$20/$40 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BB$1485.00:///////;UTG1$1820.00:///////;UTG2$1385.00:///////;MP1$1230.00:///////;MP2$1530.00:///////;MP3$1525.00:///////;CO$1190.00:///////;BU (Hero)$1410.00:///////;SB$1925.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with K:h, A:s.
UTG1 raises to $80.00, UTG2 calls $80.00, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $80.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1,410.00(All-In), 5 folds, 4 folds, 3 folds, 2 folds, MP2 folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

I think your move at this spot was not wrong even so early at the tournament. If you had decided to reraise preflop, a decent amount after one mini raise and two callers would have been maybe 320-400 chips, so moving allin is okey.
However, because you are on the button, meaning you have position on everyone else postflop, you might try to call and see what happens after the flop. With this way, you will have a well disguised hand and you might win a lot more from your opponents. After all, it is important to play sometimes postflop to improve also this part of your game, and spots like this are the most perfect ones, unless you believe that you will have a problem throwing away your hand if the flop is useless for you. (fall in love with your AKo I call it!!!)

Nah dont call this. Shove is standard as pot is already 300. Problem with call is that tptk hand is far from great in 4-6way pot.

This. I just shove TT+ AK here.
Other hands that are usually playable from this position (AQ, AJ etc.) we can't flatcall with because of really bad negative implied odds.

So should i 3 bet to ~350 with AQ,AJ? Because i think folding those hands here versus min raise and limp is too weak.

Hi all,

AQs and AJs (and ATs) are both calls in position on the button provided you play carefluly postflop with top pair. AQo is a hand I'd consider calling with, AJo- is a clear fold.

What about if the raise was 3x/2,5x, would you push AQs?

Yes. I'd still call AJs, but AQs becomes a hand obviuosly still good enough to call with but better to push with
