Default Fold AK top two to all-in?

Villains in this hand are quite loose, all semi-calling stations, semi-LAG it seems.
Didn't re-reraise PF (what's with the limit raising?), as I wouldn't be able to get HU, and didn't want to play AKo OOP.
I haven't seen Villain pull any stunts like this before - do you call here, getting 5-3 odds, and how do you like the line in the hand?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

MP ($5.21)
CO ($117.02)
Button ($17.90)
Hero ($66.55)
BB ($87.88)
UTG ($26.38)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1.5</font>, Hero (poster) calls $1.25, BB calls $1, CO calls $0.50.

Flop: ($6) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, BB calls $5, CO folds, Button folds.

Turn: ($16) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $15</font>, BB calls $81.38 (All-In), Hero?

if villain is quite loose i'd say this is an easy call.....there are tons of hands villain has that you are ahead of here, including weaker aces and weaker two pairs. It's possible he has a set but I think a weaker two pair is more likely. I'd estimate you are good 60% and bad 40%.

Thanks for the comments.
Would you also just call preflop, or would you raise here? I'm quite certain that I'll have to play this 3- or 4-handed if I raise - is a call ok?

Against tigher opponents, yes I would probably reraise the minraise and minreraise, but if you are certain you are going to have to go to a flop with at least 3 players, I don't mind just calling this OOP. I don't like creating a large pot preflop with AK OOP.
