It's an insta-shove preflop for a few reasons:
- There are 900 chips in the pot preflop which is 27% of our stack. Any time the chips in the pot preflop are 15%+ of our stack, consider shoving.
- Considering the stack sizes, we have really good fold equity so we have a great chance of taking those 900 chips without a fight.
- If we raise (say to 1000) and somebody calls, we only hit the flop 32% of the time, and then we'll have like 30% of our stack in the pot so check/folding would be terrible.

That's right, but I'd say the As and Ks are more than half-outs in this case, I'd give them at least 5 outs even if they're not all clean.
