Default 215: Reraising preflop with AK out of position

There is either this line, or just calling preflop, or checkfolding the flop (which I don't like at all). What do you think?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (10 handed) converter

Button (t940)
SB (t975)
Hero (t975)
UTG (t1045)
UTG+1 (t980)
UTG+2 (t970)
MP1 (t860)
MP2 (t960)
MP3 (t1720)
CO (t575)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 calls t30, 1 fold, MP2 calls t30, MP3 raises to t100, 3 folds, Hero raises to t300, UTG+2 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls t200.

Flop: (t675) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t675 (all-in).

I'd call preflop and check-fold this flop. I think that any hand that just calls your reraise preflop is loving this flop so I don't like the push. I'd expect to see QQ-TT here a lot, and if he has AQ you're making a guy with three outs fold.

EDIT: AA/KK aren't impossible either, his PF raise is very strong with two limpers in front.

I don't like the re-raise pre-flop.

I'd call and check/fold post flop if no A or K show up.

You have Ace high.

Yea, I think that it's a better play to just call preflop. But when I reraise and that flop comes, do you push or checkfold?

Awful. If you're going to just push any flop with ace high, you might as well push preflop, frankly.

Does the title of the post imply that this hand occurred at a $215, or was that the time of day when you posted it? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I got called by AQ and doubled up. That was kinda why I posted it, because it felt like a pretty bad play but got rewarded so much I started thinking maybe it was a good play, lol...
