The problem with pushing your hand pre flop is you don't have amazing equity against a range that continues. I would favor three-betting only if this guy showed a tendency to call with much worse hands.
I believe he would call with much worse hands, however even with that I think AJ2* may be a little to weak to take advantage of it. What do you guys think about 3b'ing if our J was a Q or if our hand was double suited? I feel like AJ2 is right on the line.
Giving it more thought I think it depends greatly on the player obv. A better player would have given me waaaay more credit in this spot and I would expect him to fold a lot of his almost premium hands.
What hands would be good enough here to outweigh your possible tournament life and 3b for value?

bad luck though if he didnt hit the set or something big you get to win it likely.
generally against the big stack it doesnt pay to play a hand where you need to run him off the pot.
Thanks guys. So Basically, at this point our chip value and ability to move up in the money outweighs the slight equity advantage we may have.
