Sometimes "Dumb" Gets Rewarded

Good (+$32) but short (127 hands) day today. This hand was actually my biggest single gain but it was also my worst play. I have no business in this hand after the shorty 3bets and gets flatted by richyrich. I know the shorty's range is AQs+ and both he and richyrich have me crushed, but I call preflop anyway. After the mistake preflop I think I played the rest of the hand fine, but calling 3bets against these ranges with stacks this short will cost me more in the long run than I'll ever make the times I do connect big. Also note that richyrich gave me good odds to chase after the turn.
