What's my commitment here pre? Re-pop and fold to a RR? I don't even RR AK here. Leak? Are you more apt to c-bet the flop if you RR pre?

No. He's an aggro-donk making his obligatory raise into your BB. Just say F-you and get it in up to 15BBs or so.

In and of itself such a large over-raise with AQ preflop is not all that great of a play... but there are meta-game considerations here. (That's something I don't think I've ever said before). Blind on blind play against this guy rates to be a factor in this SNG. Go ahead and get it out of his mind that he will be able to outplay you from that spot.

Also, a typical aggro donk will put you on a little pair and may decide to race with an ace as weak as A-9. I see this every single night, I'd say. Stomp on him.
