Good fold or lucky fold

Starting stack 15000. Blinds 200/400

Current stack 12000

I open UTG AJ offsuit for 1000

Folds around to cutoff. 3 bets to 2800

Folds back to me I call

Flop comes out AQJ rainbow. I lead out for 3000, he shoves. I figure the only hands he is 3 betting with preflop are AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK,AQ,1010,99.

I also figure the only hands of those that he shoves post flop are AA,KK,QQ,AQ, and maybe AK. So I conclude I must almost certainly be behind. I fold my AJ showing him, He shows AQ. Someone remarked that I tilted him by folding, but I really didnt think I could beat anything as played. Went on to chop the tournament 5 ways from there.

I will fold pre flop 30bb deep OP only if 3bettor is overly aggro ill 4 bet shove pre for value.Calling is big mistake i think.

Agree with TheLuckier calling with AJ the only few good flops that we're getting and more OOP are two pairs and flush draw to the ace. I'd fold or just 3 bet (depending on agression from villain.)

We get two pairs but i ask : what is the intention of leading? Really. And also putting in villain shoes: What is the point of shoving here? Trying to make AJ and AK call and protect our hand from a K or 10 turn that makes some straights?, i think i'd check-call and re-evaluate the turn, but in first place i would be more declined to fold preflop.
