Would very much depend on my read of the player so I can't really give you an informed answer here, though in most cases I fold.

In very general terms, with blinds so low, this would incline me even more to fold it, especially against a tight solid player. You haven't invested too much in the pot, and his re-raise of your re-raise shows real strength. There are no hands your realistically beating, i doubt he plays AQ like that, which is where the read comes in. Your most likely up against AA-JJ and therefore a fold is the right play here IMO.

what did you do out of interest?

Just call the initial raise and you will never find yourself in this situation again. Now if the blinds were high then this is a shove for sure. ak suited this is a monster hand but you do not need to reraise preflop unless you mean business and are ready to go to the felt with that hand. Now if you see a raise then a reraise and then an allin raise well you have to have the fold button chkd already when it gets around to you with the ak suited. Unless you are in need of chips then its a must call, or if you are in a rebuy tourney and just want to try and build a chipstack.

Sorry, response was a little bit late but I folded (figured I was either dominated or on wrong end of coinflip)

you did the right thing just because of the stage of the tourney alone imo.
