Default $11 bubble: was AK fold too tight?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

Button (t425)
Hero (t1430)
BB (t5570)
UTG (t575)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t225

BB is typical $11 player: doesn't push enough, calls too much.

Problems I saw playing this hand:
- Taking on big stack
- Two others quite a bit shorter than me
- I'm just under 10BB inflection point, meaning I theoretically have to risk my entire stack to increase it by 10% (if he folds).

Arguments for playing:

- Great time to maybe double up and play for first
- I dominate any Ax, Kx

Seeing this in print, I now feel like I have to push. But could a call possibly be good here, against a weak player???
