Default Re: AKs on late position

Pushing after the flop is very reasonable. we have 15 outs to win if he has an overpair and much more if he has ak or aq.
The only problem I have with pushing after the flop is my position in the tourney.
Hero is in a very good situation now. If we push all-in and vilian has any kind of hand ( 1010 - QQ ) he will call, and that will put us in a coin flip situation. (after the flop AKh is 52% favorite to win QQ for example with this flop).
I'm not sure I want to risk my all tourney for a coin toss at this point. ( if I had a shorter stack it might justify it).

as for raising preflop with AKs. Vilian is a very tight player if we raise and he reraise what then? maybe calling and seeing a flop with a better position is better. (If I was on BB or SB maybe reraisng is better to eliminate the position advantage)

what do you think?
