300$ sng on PS. Opponent is aggressive, but really good and a big winner. His reraise OOP scares me. Comments?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t1950)
Hero (t1480)
CO (t1630)
Button (t1180)
SB (t1460)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1380)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1420)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K, A.
4 folds, Hero raises to t80, 3 folds, BB raises to t240, Hero ??

I like popping him all in here for a variety of reasons. Mainly, I like doing so because if its a race and you lose, you can easily load up again (well not easy on ps, but you can in a bit). If your folding AK against a solid player isn't awful here, but if your folding group 1 hands to an out of position player easily you might need to reevalute your play.

I don't like calling, re-raising or folding are the only 2 viable solutions I see in my opinion.

If the villian is as solid as you suggest then I think its a pretty easy fold

instead of AK, what would you do if you have QQ? easy push? with relatively deeper stack in stars (than party), I would reluctant to push AK/QQ here. depending on the opponent, I would more likely to fold AK here.
