Default Bad Play by AA?

Fairly deep in MTT, down to around 170 players. I am somewhere around 20th in chips with a little more than double the average stack.

In the small blind I only CALL the cut-off raise, with the intent to keep the BB in the hand. But, my gut tells me whenever this situation comes up I should push PF.

Now we can say that after I called when the flop came all clubs I could have played much better post flop and I agree. I can see that if I played after the flop differently I MIGHT (unlikely) have still taken this down; but right now I am only asking about PF.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO :#A500AF(Button)/ raises to t4800</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t4000, BB :#A500AF(Big Blind)/ calls t3200.

Flop: (t13200) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

River: (t127014) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t127014

Hero has Ah Ad (two pair, aces and sevens).
Big Blind has 9c Tc (flush, king high).
Outcome: Big Blind wins t116874. Hero wins t10140. </font>

So the poll question is Should I have just called the button raise, or pushed? (let's forget a re-raise less than AI for now)
