Down to 5 from 696 in a live MTT.

Payouts
1st - 15k
2nd - 10k
3rd - 7k
4th - 5k
5th - 4.1k

Stacks
Button - c80BB - villain
SB - c20BB - hero
BB - c15BB
HJ - c25BB
CO - c35BB

Folds to button who raises to 2.5BB
I have AQo

What’s my move?

Flat? Feels weak
All-in?
Raise to some non all-in amount and fold to a 4bet?
Raise to some non all-in amount and call a 4bet?
Fold, AQo OOP is a waste of 2BBs given stacks?

Looks like a clear all-in at a glance. You have enough info here to plug it into an ICM calculator.

ICM calculator says to 3! shove here.

Button should be opening 63.5% of his hands here with a huge chiplead.

We can 3! shove only 8.7% of our hands though. 77+, A9s+, and ATo+.

Really easy jam, sorry you lost, cold deck.

That said, if button is a good player, it might give me pause that he raised 2.5x instead of open ripping. I think AQo is still too good not to go with here, though.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was showing open raising ranges and then the corresponding 3! shove ranges.

Either way, it's a 3! shove here with AQo.
