Does this 5 bet need to be a jam?

It's the final 20 of the 8$Rebuy 17.5K GTD and average stack is at about 36bb.Villain is a mid stakes reg on a 13K games sample(57$average buy in maybe high stakes also) so I believe he knows what he is doing and he is playing 35/30/17.4 and I doubled him one orbit back where he opened from 30bb UTG+1 min I 3 bet called 88 from the button on him and he showed AQo(I think he presumed that I was playing a little agro to at previous tables ).The big blind was a solid player and the button was tightish and I think that is a spot for him to open fairly wide.
Preflop (9000) (6 Players)
Serebity_p was dealt A K
Zluka2010 folds, 41g3r folds, Raaadzio91 raises to 12000, robtinnion folds, Serebity_p raises to 31355, Torsten9669 folds, Raaadzio91 raises to 59875, Serebity_p raises to 118655, Raaadzio91 raises to 374550, and is all in, Serebity_p calls 255895
I wanted to get a few opinions on the hand and was wondering what you guys think!I think I have 2 choices here:
1.5 bet jam for protecting the 100K in the middle that represent 30% of my stack(I'm saying this because of the fact that it's a late in the tournament and I want to also protect my stack ).And was thinking only 5betting this size with big PP JJ+
2.Is the route I chose.My logic was something that I wanted to give him the impression of FE and also not to leave him much room for a call IP if I 5 bet a little smaller(maybe this is wrong and he never flats) and was kind of thinking that he can 6 bet jam something like an Ax thinking that he gets me of my bluffs and when he does get called he isn't absolutely crushed,or his pure bluffs if he has any.I know I wan't him in the hand with this range but this opens up the small PP 22-88 which I am not crazy about(I know there are more Ax combos if with my blocker or am I just dreaming about this scenario).So do I want this?(meaning that does he have what I dream of very often or I am in a flip most of the time because he just knows he is getting flatted so often that is not worth it for him given his edge on the remaining field and the newly acquired 2x average stack)

He ended up having 88!By the way does my sizing suck?(I think I would have done this with big PP JJ+)
Or is this spot pretty standard considering the 6 handed and I am only result oriented(guess I wouldn't have noticed it so much if I would have won)


Hi guys! I'm new to the community(loving it by the way) and I never posted before(just watching and reading until now) hope it doesn't stink.Plus if ended up giving to much info/less let me know!Can't wait to see some thoughts!(maybe I can get you guys to give an opinion about the hand I described before where I doubled him off with 88 is it ICM wise considering I had 100BB chip lead avearge 36Bb,is it ok to flip there with that guy when the rest of the field is soft?)
