700k wcoop ko AQ 30bb+ deep and overall help...
I'm a long time cash game player who has some tournament experience and merits from softer fields some years back (mostly from ongame network) but sadly hasn't tried to evolve in current pro fields at all. I have tried to play as many wcoop tournaments as possible up to 700$ buy ins first time ever...Without a single cash out!
Today, I was having really good touch in beginning when we were 100-200bb deep and got 47k stack when avg was little bit more than 20k and bb like 400. After that it was just horrible how I got crushed. I didn't really get any amazing hands to play and stack was soon 20-30bb deep which was amazingly hard to play for me.
I will post a hand which was probably a breaking point in whole tournament. Is this a mandatory call in a new table where I suspect villain to be pretty active? He was at 90k stack but just dropped to 30k+ and instantly shipped to my 3bet.

I hate myself not calling in this spot if I am not comfortable to go with 30bb+ deep which I considered too much to call with AQo on middle positions and it's not realistic to wait for call by him. Am I result oriented if I think afterwards it's an easy call in modern tournament play?
I decided to wait better spot but I was soon on push after one maybe bad open and cb. Antes just got me after couple orbits. Eventually I had 12bb stack and pushed ATo UTG, got called by better and dropped from tournament about 40 slots before cash. This wasn't the first time it has gone like this.
I really felt I was doing something very wrong when we didn't play very deep with small blinds since I was really doing right plays in early tournament.
Any good video out there from this stage of tournaments when stacks get shallower and you need to risk your whole stack?
