AQ OOP in a 3B Pot HU: WTF? AQ OOP in a 3B Pot HU: WTF?

Villain seems Tight at like 8/8 over 25 hands, maybe even solid, so his min 3B really alarmed me, or it was a misclick, idk but regardless I decided not to 4B. I couldn't see AK playing this way, probably a big pair, so I was playing to hit my Ace and play a small pot or hit 2pair+ and play a big pot. I probably would've been getting away from Q high boards if facing heavy betting. When the Flop hit obv the texture sucks, because there aren't many more hands in villains 3B-PF range that want to play for stacks on this board. I probably should've donk/called, but I figure c/r accomplished close to the same thing. Regardless I wasn't thrilled about calling despite how insane villain's line looks:

Poker Stars $4.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds - 8 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: t4220 M = 14.07
SB: t1490 M = 4.97
BB: t2245 M = 7.48
UTG: t2905 M = 9.68
UTG+1: t2393 M = 7.98
Hero (MP1): t10777 M = 35.92
MP2: t11595 M = 38.65
CO: t8010 M = 26.70

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is MP1 with A Q
2 folds, Hero raises to t500, MP2 raises to t800, 4 folds, Hero calls t300

Flop: (t1900) Q A K (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets t10795 all in, Hero calls t9977 all in

Pretty sick pot....without reads I fold pre. If you get to the flop I think you have to call and have a trash can close by in case you need to puke!

25 hands rly isnt that big of a sample so read isnt 100% reliable.

I basically shrug and call.

to that min raise u cant really fold I think. But Ive seen it alot that min raises are at least AA-KK or AK, so with your stak a fold on flop is considerable.
But I rarely find the fold butn there myself

Nuts or air...I'd call, but what do you beat? Pretty much a FML situation. You could argue for folding since you'd still be almost 50 BBs deep with this maniac and could find a better spot (could you?).

Yea pretty much this. Is a fold ever OK here or is villain spazzing w/ AJ,ATs,KQ, or JJ-TT enough to warrant the call?
