Default $2.20 - AK versus re-raiser

This is probably a pretty standard situation, but I'm wondering what you guys would do here. I had no reads on this guy.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t60 (9 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

BB (t1430)
UTG (t1750)
UTG+1 (t1220)
MP1 (t885)
MP2 (t1330)
Hero (t1990)
CO (t2860)
Button (t2280)
SB (t1255)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t60, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t225</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t765</font>, Hero...

the rest of his stack, or should I go all-in to isolate him?

Aren't I up against a big pair most of the time here? And at this point in the tourney, should I be risking all of my stack without a made hand? There's still a bunch of people after me.

um..

wtf?

MP1 limps.. MP2 folds.. you make it 225, 4 people fold (CO/BTN/SB/BB) comes back to MP1 who makes it 765 with 120 left behind..

225+60+30+225= 450+90=540

885-225 = 660

660+540 = 1190

660 to win 1190..

yea, shove it in unless he turns over KK/AA

I wouldn't fold this against the short stack, especially in a $2 SNG

The fact that he left himself with 120 chips instead of just pushing all in indicates to me that he's not a great player. Push and hope he turns over AJ or something.

That really doesn't mean anything about how good he is. He's clearly not folding. He may just be doing that to appear stronger than he actually is.

ok, thanks for the replies. I did indeed shove, he turned over 56o and I won unimproved. wasn't sure if I made the right move though.
