This was in the final stages of a 45 player $5 MTT (blinds 100/200, ante 25):
I'm chip lead on this table, but not by much. 5th/15 overall. From the way I've seen him play, his big raise told me he had a pocket pair 88-JJ. In this situation, did I make the right move? Looking over the hand, I think maybe I should have used the 'stop & go' tactic where I just call the 1600, then move all-in on the flop. He maybe would have put me on a K and folded?

Reraising a big raise with AQs

If you really put him on JJ-88... of course you have to cold call! (at best)
Reraising with AQ is probably the baddest thing you can do. Most of the time, at best it's a coin flip, or you are a huge dog.
I probably fold this hand...

Heck, I've seen people go nuts with middle pair!

With those blinds and ante's your not under pressure to race, just let the blind go. Its a good play, just hope you pick up a monster when he does it and you can nail him.

Fold

AQ has power when you are first to raise, but as a reraising hand is very poor (with some exceptions of course).
