This is not how you should be playing in this situation at these blind levels. You definitely don't have the kind of stack where you can be limping and calling raises. Furthermore, there's no way you want to be limp-reraising with AQ or AJ. If you decide to play the hand, just push it. The late levels of a SNG are about pushing, putting your opponents to a decision, and hopefully collecting lots of blinds. There's absolutely no room for speculating with hands like that when you get to 100/200, and you should rarely ever be limp/calling like that with that hand in other situations.

With the last bolded part, I just wanted to point out again that you were already pretty short, and this hand Would have cost you almost 1/2 of your stack, leaving you with no fold equity and not much hope.

Edit: OK, not quite almost 1/2 your stack. But you would have been under 5 BBs.
