Default Live deepstacked MTT, AA on fairly dry flop v. raise

Live MTT, £30+£3 second blind level; 50/100.

Effective stacks are 5,000 give or take.

No reads on the villain but he's shuffled once and he knows his way around a deck of cards. He was also looking at people and not cards when prior flops were dealt so it's safe to assume he knows vaguely what he's doing.

NB: No flushes were possible in this hand but I don't remember specific suits so I'm just gonna make them up as I go along.

I'm UTG+2 with and I raise to 300.

Folds to villain in late-mid position who calls after some thought.

Flop is and I bet 500.

Villain raises to 1500 total.

Do we like calling or re-raise all in? I think calling gets more value out of stuff like A9/KK/QQ/JJ/TT when and if the turn blanks but if he has KK/QQ he's probably along for the ride anyway if we shove.

All-inning also negates our being OOP, but the fact that we are means we can do a sort-of stop'n'go on the turn, putting 3500 into a 3700 pot.

And no, mister-x, villain is not an Asian.
