It is CC freeroll, 57 players started, start of tournament, 2 level of blinds. How you play this hand? What is better, all in pre flop or only call? Opponent likes 3betting pre flop, 3bet stat was 15. I think he calls my 4bet allin with AQ+ and 99+. My 4bet allin doesn't seem strong here, because if I would have here JJ+ then better should be 4bet to about 400. What do you think about it?

early in a tourney I prefer to just flat call with AK...however since you'll be out of position I guess shipping preflop is OK.... but there is so little reward for you when he folds and so frequently when he calls you'll be flipping or crushed...

I'm not a big fan of shove or fold poker, but when I do go into shove or fold mode I like the pot to be worthwhile relative to my stack size.
