Default $16 - AQo look him up?

I think he was 30/18 and he did not seem very good, but sample size is not very significant.
I had just A high, but with his stack and the texture of the board I really think he is bluffing here most of the time, even if he is, can I call? I will be very short stacked if I lose.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) by Hand Converter CG

SB (t2875)
BB (t880)
UTG (t1370)
UTG+1 (t2290)
MP1 (t920)
MP2 (t3095)
Hero (t1545)
Button (t525)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls t300.

Flop: (t950) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t520 (All-In)</font>, Hero ??

I'm not raising it there preflop, it would be between just call and fold. When they move on the flop I would also fold. What is he calling the big raise with and pushing that doesn't beat me? AJ,AT,KQ,KJ, maybe some suited connector flush draw type hands but they are very close as well vs A high. I don't even like making the call with AK here because of something I read in one of those TJ cloutier books about tournaments.

sure you can call, but you should probably just shove all in preflop and add the easy $250 to your stack.

You are seriously thinking about folding to a loose limper (he had played 30% of the hands so far!) with a good hand at BB 100? I think that is way too tight.

I'd definitely have pushed if folded to me there but the caller made it seem closer than it is. I put in sngwiz and it seems that only if MP1 limps less than 20% and calls less than 10 it is a fold. Time for me to start pushing over loose limpers more often, forget you TJ.
