14k KO Guarantee AK spot

Down to about 110 payout is 90, villains have been pretty active.... Similar action the hand right before this one...
The converter is messed up villain 1 (with 30k) is utg+1 other villain is mp1 (with 54k), hero is mp2.
Is this a fold? Should I just call this in the future and see a flop? Should I 3 bet light. A ton of help would be great. I hate being in those spot.
If I fold I'm below chip average (30k), if I win I'm chip leader.

You must let go of that poisonous combination of fear and hubris that makes you think that you are about to do something special with AK by folding preflop.
You are not a world class surgeon with the cards. You cannot dissect AK any further. You will not find a theoretical breakthrough for folding AK in a small stakes, non-satelite online tourney almost ever. Numerous Small Stakes tourney theoreticians have tried before. In fact, about one tries every day. It always fails. It fails as hard as communism or Coke Zero. Except, communism always makes for a better read.
You are not a magician. If you fold AK, your online chips will not transpose themselves from the computer screen to your desk moments later and unravel like flowers in bloom, only to reveal sheaths of gold.
You have AK with an M of 8 - ??. There's a push in front of you with an M of 10. There's another call with M of 15.
. It's late. It's early. Your dreams of making a final table are only one and a half hours away. And there's a break coming up! It's a +EV play to push here. That's all it is. +EV. That's what poker is: EV moves. Deal with it.
You're pyschology or greater wants mean nothing. All that matters in the end is the "long run" promise of cEV. Chips only translate to more potential returns if you play them correctly. Please think about this.
