I'm unsure of all streets.

My thinking pre-flop/turn were to keep it cheap and see what happens. On the turn I really didn't know what to do.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em (NL$50) (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP1 raises to $2.00, Hero calls $2.00, 1 folds, CO calls $2.00, 3 folds.

Flop: ($6.75) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
MP1 bets $4.00, Hero raises to $12.00, CO folds, MP1 raises to $21.00, Hero calls $13.00.

Turn: ($56.75) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 raises all-in ($34.75), Hero ???

Push el-flopo. Anytime you can get all in here is not bad.

However, in this case, villian is telling you that he has a real hand here. He is saying that he is no joke and you better recognize. Your FE here is probably really low, which is why the push is not as good as it is normally. Calling here has its merits, but you wanna see both cards, and your hand might (doubtful) be the best or you could be freerolling.

Preflop: reraise

Flop: 4 bet all in....this is a HUGE flop for your hand, so get it in

Turn: As played, you gotta call

Table had been ultra-tight. Villain had raised more than everyone else, but by more than everyone else I mean like once every two orbits ... He also hadn't shown anything insane post-flop ...

I thought I had zero fold equity on the flop. I was guessing I was either looking at two pair (least likely), a set (more likely), or overpair (semi-likely). Would you still recommend jamming this? I guess it depends on the probability distribution of what I think he has ...

I know this is a stupid question, but how much would you recommend reraising pre-flop?

I'm a pussy when it comes to building large pots preflop w/o high pocket pairs.
