Default PCA qualifier Step 2 TT in difficult position.

The guy who raised just lost a big pot when he raised an UTG limper with AK, bet almost pot, other guy made huge overbet and shoved, he called with A high and got sucked out on when villian hit a flush on turn. My options as I saw it were to raise and commit myself to the pot, I didn't do it because I thought his raise signified quite a bit of strength. I thought folding was too weak, so I decided to call and play my position. I thought I might be able to get away from it if say an A K Q or J came and the guy had an over pair, however, I thought I would also be able to stack him is a blank flop came and he shoved something like AT+ 77+ which is what I put as his range. He didn't seem like the best player, so what are you guys doing, and if you do call wtf do you do on flop? Is this an accurate range?

I know this is an STT but I know you guys more then the others in the STT forum and wanted your advice. Thank you!

Edit:After thinking about it his range is probably wide enough to shove pre! Calling was probably the worst thing I could do.

I like how you played pf. Once the [censored] calling brigade comes along too, I need the perfect circumstance or a set to get anymore money in the pot. If the flop was heads up I like to raise the raiser all in. With the other morons in the hand, I'm more apt to lay the hand down and own these guys near the bubble icm style.

You're at the 10/20 level, very early on, and you have 900 chips in the pot where you're likely favored against any of his ranges. Shove the turn and feel good about it.
