Depends.

Depends if you feel you can outplay your opponents on the bubble (you should be able to). If that is the case, I lean strongly towards fold. AKo isn't 'that' big of a hand that you can seriously afford to get called (I'm not happy getting my money in with a 60% chance to win when my opponent has two live cards.) I don't think you've got a great deal of FE with 3 callers of a PF raise from UTG.

Shove if you think this is the best chance you have to accumulate chips.

Calling seems too weak to me. Interested with what others have to say though.

Usually, I would push. I would, though, consider a semi-stop-and-go here (call and push any low or hit flop). {{{LW will now duck for cover!

How can folding possibly be the right play?
