Ok
I think this is a MTT rather than an SNG, but i could be wrong.
First thing. Old saying poker 'never bet the ranch on top pair' Top pair is often good, but when big bets start flying around it then isnt. Bare that in mind
Second, with a hand like AQ you need to pump the pot up preflop, make it expensive for other hands to see a flop. You just mini raised here where as you should have made it at least 1800 possibly 2200 as you are a big stack. With more callers/limpers here a bigger raise is certainly the better play.
Thus, the flop leaves you in a tough spot. Yes you have top pair top kicker, but an all in here suggests clearly you are beat. Your preflop raise allows big stacks to play hans like QT and see thsi flop.
So, you have to fold this. But next time, if your preflop play is better this isnt such a tough decision. If the aggro big stack wants to buy pots let him a bit, but when you flop teh nutz he will make the wrong move! Then you can wave goodbye to him and move onto the next hand
Hope this helped a little
