Villian here has been really agressive at a passive table, I really thought he might have a weak ace when he raised I was very surprised that he called, I was almost positive he was stealing and would fold. My reraise amount put me in a bad position after the flop I should have pushed or folded preflop but I am still getting used to tournament play. I am still used to cash games and much deeper stacks and more play. I still have 2k behind me which is plently for a good short stack stratagy. Am I pot committed that I have to call here?

Your analysis is right I think. Push/fold preflop.. and 2k is alrite to shortstack with. You basically have to fold the flop as villian could have a gazillion things, and you dont really beat much...When your M is ~10-13ish restealing is damn important but you gotta stick it in preflop.
