Default Make this call?

From the Stars Sunday $200:
Last hand before 1st break, I have almost exactly avg chip stack. On button holding AKo I raise 3.5 BB ,SB folds, BB re-raises all in. I have him covered barely, almost even. BB had just done this the previous hand and showed 88 and had been quite loose. Do I fold and move on or take what I estimate at worst a coin flip to get twice the avg chip stack heading into the second hour? I guess the underlying question is will you gamble in this spot because of the size of the field and the need to accumalate chips or wait for a better spot.

Personally I would fold, I dont like taking a coin flip this early in the tournament. Would it be wrong to take the coin flip? I dont think so; only thing Im worried about is AA or KK.

what are the chip stacks?

This is probably an easy call though, if the chip stacks aren't really deep.

Especially if you think he's pretty loose, I'd gamble. You have to accumulate lots of chips to make a run at one of these things and here's an opportunity for you to do so most likely at worst a 55/45 dog and quite possibly a favorite.
