Tourney spot: Over Aggro?

Villain seems capable, and has been 3betting me (prob bullying me a bit if Im honest) and other players a bit, often with smallish sizing like this. My image wouldnt be tight, but not over aggro either as I was seated with big stacks to my left for last 40 mins (villain on my table all this time)
This is final table, payout structure pretty flat till top 2, will post details if necessary. I'm not a tournament specialist , but is this way too aggro given stacks (I am 2nd in chips) and positions? Also do we ever expect a call with worse? Its a bounty hunter if that makes any difference

The only thing i can see he calls you with that you beat is AK and even then its a flip and because of dynamics i think he folds that alot of the time.
While calling is maybe an option, I think I am going to be in a tricky spot oop on most flops, and he is likely t raise my cbet? Again I'm open to opinions
I disagree with don about going with the chip leader, i think you can get easy chips because of alot of people wont be playing against them, just pick good spots etc but try not to get in marginal
What better spot will I find? I dont think my edge is that big, at least 2 other players seem good, 30BB deep its hard have much of an edge over anyone, and Im prob not that good anyway. Also villain shouldnt be overexcited about tangling with me either.
I'm just asking the questions, folding may be best
Agree with dohhhead 2.2-2.5 open late on or a nice little funky bet in between people dont have a scooby half the time. who was on the table then? just to see how solid it is or are they all randoms?
What buy in and how many left at this point, had you already cashed? these may factor how you play it
Opening from LP is kinda tricky, villain (2 to my left) and guy to his left are both playing back a bit, so small ball picking up blinds is not going as smoothly as I would like. I'm not sure I'll get a better hand than TT to 3bet him with that often (I accept other factors than hand strength may play into this) Also no one is really shortstacked Im prob going to have to play a little to ladder up without going really short myself.
Im honestly not sure what I should be doing here, def flatting doesnt appeal to me. I suspect an ICM calc would say fold
Only played a few MTT's but it looks like your going out?? He/she has gotten under your skin. Why would you put your spot at risk? I'm guessin he's got AA/KK ?
Im surprised no one has mentioned his 3betting my utg open might factor into my decision, cos if he does this and Im on btn, I am snapshoving
villain tanks and calls with QTo. Grantorino is a genius, leaps up and fist pumps
Flop comes AQQ, grantorino is drawing to running aces to split, unbeleivably turn is a blank, river is an A to add insult to injury and counterfeit my hand
Then you get beat
Cruel game init bruv
Good game.
I think i've been mostly right on the threads I've posted on! I'm fairly new (and you're right quite nitty!) but I read your post that you were risking a place in a big tourament with this hand? If, however, this is the final table you're prob right to shove? Let us know how you get on.
