Default 55s, two AK hands. Standard?

I just want to make my line in this situation is standard. Two AK hands, both early.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (10 handed)

Hero (t1120)
MP3 (t1205)
CO (t685)
Button (t1195)
SB (t940)
BB (t895)
UTG (t1030)
UTG+1 (t975)
UTG+2 (t830)
MP1 (t1125)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

My stadard line is just call here. I don't want to get into a coinflip here for my whole stack. A raise is pretty much doing just that. I usually then jut play aggro if I hit TPTK, and fold if not (I'm like 2:1 on flopping an A or K, right?). The only thing is, I see a lot of morons who are pushing worse Aces here and I'm not sure if I'm giving up EV.
