I don't know if stack sizes allow you to cbet much. If you raise to 300 and get two callers (likely against these players), there's going to be just over 900 in the pot, and you'll have 900 in your stack. If you miss, you're going to feel you probably have 6 outs, so even 1/3 pot will commit you if someone pushes (600 more to win 1500). If the flop looks like no one hit, then you probably just have to push and hope everyone folds or you river your A like everyone else.

If you get it heads up, then there's 600 and you have 1200, so you can bet half the pot and get away from it if they push. Just remember to play it the same way if you hit, so you're not giving your game away if someone's paying more attention than you think.

Another strategy is just to push AK pre-flop. Takes away the tough decisions post-flop when you miss, and still quite profitable if these guys are as loose as you say. Worst case, you get a coin flip, and you don't have to feel sad if they all fold, because picking up 175-225 chips at this stage with your stack is pretty significant. You don't push AQ, though, with these stacks, so either you go the first route, or you flat. I lean more towards the raise to 300 with AQo and flat calling with AQs, since it's a little more likely to get you a favourable flop.
