Nice input. I kind of agree with everything, which to me, means it's a more interesting spot than the standard pre-flop gii. I posted the results because if I just left it as I 4bet jammed and got called, everyone would most likely assume "gg he has kings" and showing he has 88 is pretty notable for the discussion imo.
Villain had no 3bet (but honestly, no one does in these daily events) but had a vpip of 50%+ at that point and like I said, he was sun-running and couldn't lose a hand it seemed. I had been getting some good hands this level and was opening more often. Two hands earlier I opened AKs and he and the BB called. The flop was a very dry 2-3-7 rainbow and I c-bet and got check-raised by the BB and I folded. I may have leveled myself into thinking he was starting to believe I was getting too out of line and he decided to take a stand and 3bet me. This might actually be true, though, because he has 88 and I never see 88 3bet in these fields, let alone call off for a 32bb re-shove. I think he just put me on AK and wasn't considering any other hand, which to his credit, isn't the worst read.
AQo is the absolute bottom here and I'm doing it with QQ+ and AK much more often (at this stack depth probably 100% not going to lie), so I feel like my fold equity should be good enough to make this play here with the AQ blockers. Being OOP along with the stack depth also was a large factor in not flatting. The tournament is super high variance anyway, so if it wasn't in this spot, it would be another flip spot soon enough. At least that's what I keep telling myself
Also, for the record, we got showered
