Default $114; AQs in sb facing button raise

My first instinct was to just shove pf, but we seem a little deep for that, but the way I played it feels like spew. What's your standard line here? Comments on all streets appreciated.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1445)
UTG+1 (t1430)
MP1 (t2815)
MP2 (t1235)
CO (t1505)
Button (t1880)
Hero (t1500)
BB (t1690)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Reraise with the intention of calling a repush? What's your line on the flop as played?

Any read on button? If button is unknown (possibly a bit laggy ) or known to be a bad player I like a push preflop because hands you dominate will be in his calling range. If button is solid, I like a call preflop because he is not calling your push with KQo.

If I call preflop I'm looking to hit the flop or just check/fold. So as played fold to the raise.

That raise to 480 is going to be difficult. If you do it, you gotta call a push just because AQs has should be 33% vs his range (you are 30% vs AKo and 31.8% vs KK). If you are called preflop you basically need to push any flop due to the stacks. I really dislike this line.

Actually, the more I think about it, I like a push vs all opponents except a real nit.
