I am gonna step in your shoes at this moment in your tournament, and give you some insight into my thinking.In my style of near cashing play, the limp was perfect. You were in a early position i believe, so with my style(very conservative near cashes) I dont think the 4x raise would of been wise. People out there will go nuts over AQ,AJ, even A10, all hands that could of fairly easily screwed ya. If the fellow still would of pushed all in i will fold(for the sake of cashing). Now if he had of reraised say 4x or 6x the big blind, i would of called, and seen the flop, which at that point would of been a easy fold, considering the AQ came.
