Default Two Stop-N-Go hands -- one good, one questionable

I've been using the stop and go for the last couple of days, after reading about it on these forums. The first hand below worked very well (though some may think I should have folded). The second hand, well, perhaps this wasn't the place to use the stop and go. I don't know. Comments appreciated.

UTG (t2870)
MP (t1610)
Button (t6075)
SB (t1945)
Hero (t1000)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t300</font>, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls t150.

Flop: (t675) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t700 (All-In)</font>, MP folds.

Final Pot: t1375

Default Re: Two Stop-N-Go hands -- one good, one questionable

It seems to me that by far the most likely hands to reraise a 3XBB bet are in order AK, AQ, KK, AA, QQ, JJ, or 1010.
Now I'll agree that even KK calling an All in of a preflop raiser is pretty balsy. But if you are going to push the flop anyhow why not reraise all-in, preflop?
