Default Postflop play with AKs

A friend was asking me about this hand, and I thought some of you could learn from it - I'll post my response I gave to him in a little while once some discussion is going on this thread. There's a specific concept I'm trying to illustrate here, which us SNGers don't get to apply too often due to the nature of our tourneys. What would your advice to my friend be?
------------------------------------------

"$5+$0.50 Stars SNG, 5 of 9 players are left.

I'm in 4th of 5 w/about 1800 (you start w/1500). BB is smallest stack. SB has about 2800. Big Stack is around 7000. Blinds are 75-150.

I get dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button, and the two bigger stacks fold to me. I consider pushing but think I'll just get the blinds and I'm looking for more, so I make it 600 to go. SB calls and BB folds. The flop comes K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB checks, how much should I bet?"
