Default $6.5 Stars, AQ facing allin from loose player

This seemed like a no-brainer at the time, but I'm starting to question it. Before this, the guy making this raise had shown down QJo which he called a raise with preflop, and ATs which he called an allin for 800 with preflop. Given his range, and the fact that I was already down 360 chips, should I have called here?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t610)
UTG+1 (t1770)
MP1 (t1415)
MP2 (t3260)
CO (t575)
Button (t1980)
Hero (t1140)
BB (t2750)

Fold. Really need a little more info regarding villains range. His calls may have been good, depending on several factors.

There's a big difference between calling loose and raising loose. I'd fold. I doubt he's wide enough to call.

Which brings up the question, how loose would he have to be to make this a good call?

Would you expect him to be pushing with hands like 44, KJs, A4s, A8o? If yes (and if you assume the BB will only 2 players both all-ins with just AA and KK) then you could call. If pusher is any looser, you should call. If he's any tighter, you should fold.
