Default Is this an easy call?

Final table of the $50, $25k on Stars. My image is pretty aggressive, I've restolen a few times recently.

CO is a solid player. He's seemed pretty aggro, but has laid down to reraises a few times. Easy call?

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t6000/t12000
(Ante: t600)
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t398663
CO: t226767
Button: t195632
Hero: t260106
BB: t171332

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to t36000</font>, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t96000</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises all-in t226167</font>

With AQo, OOP, I'd just call the 3xbb raise and evaluate flop...

i disagree w ace's reply. i dont want to take a flop out of position and i want to end the hand now. ace q 5 handed is very strong and you played it as such don't be afraid to put your chips in the middle with such a strong hand. its not impossible that he has ace 10 or ace jack. this is also an opportunity to showdown a strong hand so that if you win your reraise "steals" look stronger.

You've already put in ~37% of your chips, so
I think you've committed yourself to it with
that re raise and also as mentioned before getting
too good a price to fold I believe, although the way
described about CO I wouldn't be surprised if your up against AK QQ KK AA in which case you may not be in such decent shape.

This is pretty gross considering a CO raise could mean anything, and we're going to miss and get the pot taken from us by worse hands a huuge amount of the time. Must re-raise and I might just shove here. As said, it's not too nuts of an overbet.
