Default $22s - AKo in SB, push or standard raise?

PartyPoker $22 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t4180)
CO (t4626)
Button (t4379)
Hero (t2090)
BB (t4725)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero ???

Villian seems loose (37% VPIP) but since there hasn't been a lot of raising/pushing going on yet so I don't know his range if I push. Push this or raise to something like t500?

Thanks!

Regards,
Fredrik

definitely push, you dont want to get mixed up with a lag on an unfavorable flop and make it harder on yourself.

Anything but a push could possibly make you doubt yourself if your opponent plays back at you. So let him know right off the bat you're willing to put in everything you got.

push for sure... pushbotting in general sucks if you push with your medeocre holding but not with premiums.

For the record if you raise to 500-600 you are pushing everyflop.
