Default An AKo hand that is bothering me

UTG has 60k
Button has 22k
Hero (SB)have 25k
BB has 40k

Notes:
-UTG has been fairly loose and passive preflop but aggressive postflop. Could be construed as fishy as the hands he's shown down were marginal hands that hit huge
-Table is playing tight and aggressive for the most part
-Button has been pretty inactive
-BB has been playing tight and passive

Blinds 400-800
-UTG calls the 800
-Button makes it 3k
-Hero looks down at AKo in the SB

What's the play?

If this is 4-handed I'd probably go ahead and push. A normal raise is to 11,000 or so, which is almost half your stack. You're out of position. You've got a loose opponent in the pot with a bunch of chips who will certainly call creating a 3-way pot with a hand that plays best heads up.

AKo here is only useful if pushed.

If you call and miss the flop...you are faced with a tough situation out of position.
