Obviously he could have Aces, and it should cross your mind, but I don't think I can give him credit for that hand while playing 4 handed.
He raised on the button, which doesn't tell us much about his hand. You re-raised his raise, which defines your hand somewhat, but your range of hands is still much greater than just the premium hands. When he re-raises now you know he actually likes his hand, or he's trying to resteal over what he thinks is your resteal.
Bottem line is that with the action so far I think he has a big pair (AA, KK, QQ, JJ, and maybe TT) or AK, AQ, or AJs.
You may have a much better read on him, but if I'm caught with KK vs. AA in a 4 handed game while I'm in the SB and he is on the button I'm going to go broke. Since he is in a classic steal position and you are in a classic resteal position there's just no way to really know until the cards are shown.
There is no way I'm folding pre-flop, and with the stack sizes I'm probably not folding post-flop, so I think it's best to just push right now.
