this was early in a 055 nl holdem tournament. This guy had played over half of the 8 hands so far, hence my calling his re-raise. I think this was a mistake though

I think your play is fine, you don't wanna get it in pre with AK when you are over 100 bb deep, so bet/calling pre is def. a decent line.

OTF there is really not much to do, we can't risk our stack here, without a bigger sample on him this should be a clear fold, you might be ahead of him if he is an idiot a shove some weird range here, but I would prefer folding.

Don't you have reads on villain?
if yes 4bet for value pre on this limit! ako should be the nuts!

Without reads or tight reads call pre and fold flop is totally fine!
