Default ($5.50) KQo against a bully

How far should I go in a hand with the table bully? We're in the first level, 8 players left, blinds are $10/$20, villain has $3500-ish chips, I am just under 800.

I catch KQo somewhere in middle position. it's folded to me, I raise to $80.
Everybody folds to villain (CO or thereabouts), who makes it $225. What should I do here? Push? Call? Fold?

Villain has been raising a lot the last few hands, and hasn't seen a showdown.

Fold rather than raise in the first place. Since you didn't, fold to his reraise. You are in level 1 and you have plenty of chips. There is no reason to be anxious to bust this guy.

Not even against someone who is - if my read is correct - raising with any two somewhat decent cards?

The range of "any two decent cards" does pretty well vs KQo. Since you are behind any pair and any ace.
