Default ($10) Bubble hand as chip leader, do I steal this preflop?

I know this is a seemingly meaningless hand, but it comes up often enough that I'm wondering if I should try to take this down with a rereaise all-in. Obviously the OR should fold anything other than AA or KK here but I'm not sure he knows that and I don't want to risk my chips with garbage. Is this the kind of play I need to start making?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t2015)
Button (t660)
Hero (t7370)
BB (t3455)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t450</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Absolutely not without a good read, and even then I'm not so sure.

I agree with this. Should villian fold....yes.....but the question is will he fold....and without a good read.....I wouldn't make that kind of move. It doesn't look like he's raising 25% of his stack here because he intends to fold to a push.

Sorry it's $10+1 on pokerstars. I was thinking since it's a low buy-in the other players wouldn't care/understand that they should be folding until the cripple is out so that's a big reason why I didn't push.

Unless i had a read that he was a solid player, i'd probably shove this.

I fold against weak players.
