This is from a 4/180. I think AQ is well ahead of both the raisers and the callers range so I decided to re-raise hopefully to get heads up. After he calls a figure him for A10, AJ, KQ or something similar or a low pocket pair less than 9s. Thoughts?

You're risking you're tournament life with A high? You're early in the tourney, I'd just call the 90, see a flop, and go from there. AQ is still a drawing hand (like AK only worse..)
What hands do you raise with UTG early in tourney??... AA, KK, AK, QQ, maybe JJ, all of which have you dominated and he'll call you with... I assume he had one of the above and you lost??

It's a 4/180, this could easily be 96s as they're pretty

I like the flop push.

I would fold probably preflop. I wouldn't usually reraise an UTG raiser from early position with AQ.

Ya normally I wouldn't, but lately I've seen some pretty bad play in the 4 180s.
