Villains are unknown! Should i make standard 3bet or push is better? Both were big stacks and would call me 3bet more often with middle pairs which i actually don't want since i have to push it on the flop anyway!

Yeah, you are bit committed after making standard 3-bet of 2.5k so the shove looks nice.

reraise normally and extract a little more value, you can hold the best hand and you have more than 25bb so a normal reraise to about 1700 would do just fine. You want people to call you with a hand like that and in position. It is stupid to push AKs from the button in hope of people folding it to you preflop.

1700 is far too low here.
you would give then just incredible odds for calling. and if utg+1 calls utg+2 will call for sure.
and then you play 3handed with a hand that need to hit.

so if you gonna 3bet you should make it at least 2300 or more. and if then somebosy calls you, you are comitted, so shoving IS an option but i think i would reraise smaller, make it look like a squeeze and hope somebody will put you all in with AQ+,88+
