PS $3.5 9 man, 5 left, 20BB face 3bet shove, calling range?

My question is what's my bottom calling range, SNG wizard show's that I can only call with QQ+, But AK,JJ? fold?
PokerStars - $3.11+$0.39|75/150 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 2,673.00
SB: 3,228.00
Hero (BB): 2,911.00
UTG: 2,252.00
CO: 2,436.00

SB posts SB 75.00, Hero posts BB 150.00

Pre Flop: (pot: 225.00) Hero has A A

UTG raises to 450.00, fold, BTN raises to 2,673.00 and is all-in, fold, Hero raises to 2,911.00 and is all-in, fold

Flop: (5871.00, 2 players) T 8 8

Turn: (5871.00, 2 players) 3

River: (5871.00, 2 players) J

Hero shows A A (Two Pair, Aces and Eights) (Pre 93%, Flop 98%, Turn 100%)
BTN shows K A (One Pair, Eights) (Pre 7%, Flop 2%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins 5,871.00

SNG Wiz or not, it all depends on what your opponents range is. Unfortunately, the reality of poker is that we are faced with imperfect information because as much as we want to say "it depends on his range" we simply don't know his range.

As a good default here, QQ+ or JJ+ will do the trick. Getting rid of AK here is a great idea.

Hope this helps you.

One of them is bound to have a pair of some sort, meaning we're behind and flipping. No need to do that seeing as if 2 others clash, our equity increases even when not involved. Wait for a better spot than calling a 3bet shove with AK i'd say.

I'm totally fine dumping AK vs a lot of villains here, JJ I usually go for though

Depending on the players but i think that vs a raise and a reraise is fine to fold AK. QQ+ for me and JJ+ if btn is loose
