Something tells me I shouldn't have called here, but I can't see it. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

IdaChamp limps in, trying to see a cheap flop. MrIball raises, only to 60, I never like that play, but I'll get over it. You raise to 150, a good raise in my opinion, to force everyone else out of the hand hopefully, besides MrIball. When he re raises all in, you have to assume that he either has a medium pocket pair where he wants to take it down right there, AK, or was slow playing the hand the whole time.

Not sure how he was playing earlier in the tournament, but I personally would not risk my tournament on AQ offsuit. I would have laid down the hand, especially since the blinds were still small enough where you could wait and double up later if necessary.

He made a small raise at first, then after a good raise on your part he moves all-in. I would then assume he has a pocket pair or AK. Either way, you should probably fold.

Fold. The idea is his hand is good enough to raise and then re-raise a re-raise. AQ is not good enough to re-raise a raiser so it certainly is not good enough to call a re-re-raiser (if that makes sense).
