And I admit I'm posting a generalization. I have no idea how tight the table was playing, and rereading my post, I made one mistake. I think I should have said AQo is +EV vs the 3-bettor with the dead money of the original raiser in the pot. It's a bubble situation, and *if* they're playing tighter than normal the reraiser folds 99-JJ a big percentage of the time, and the original raiser may fold QQ (we know he'll fold AK)
I may watch the play up to that point and say "oops, no way you shove AQo into THAT guy when he 3-bets." but absent that kind of read, I don't think the play was terrible at all.
In his place I make that play all the time. I either double up and have a nice stack for November or walk away with a half million after taxes and NOT have my life become a public specatcle for 4 months. Pure win-win, if you ask me.
