Is my raise a bit too big here?
ah this is a nasty spot... I dont really like your reraise tbh. If he calls you play for a big pot OOP, you wont hit the board often enough for it. You can't even safely go broke when the A hits the board.
I call the raise preflop. Re-raising will only get worse hands to fold, lot of Ax KQ, QJ junk you would have got value from. I'm going broke on most A or Q high boards postflop.
I dont even raise AK here preflop for the same reason. I only 3-bet QQ+ and call with 1010 JJ AQ+.
If you're not so confident about your postflop game you can also just fold it preflop. You're big edge is the push/fold stage, no real need to get involved in these marginal spots. I call it though 
Hi indoril,
If you choose to raise it, then this amount looks good.
But completing and playing a significantly less bloated pot from out of position is a way better option IMO. I would always safely go broke on an A high board though ;).
Oh and I also always raise AK here.
