Default AK vs. Shove post-flop

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I'm fairly new to the game, I've only been playing for about a year with my friends. This was a live game, so I figured text was the best way to post. I was wondering how I played this hand, since it ended up in disaster.

Blinds are 100/200, antes of 25. I'm heads up with another player. I can't remember the exact chip stacks, but I had about 9000 and he had about 7500. I know the ratio of blinds/antes - stacks seems kind of weird, but three people had been eliminated in the last 3-4 hands.

I'm in the bb with AKo. He raises four times the bb, I call.

The flop comes A Q 7 rainbow. I bet about 3/4 of the pot, and he pushes.

I'm really scared of two pair or a set, but I called. Thoughts?

TPTK + heads up = nuts

Alright, that's pretty much what I though.

He turned over Q10o and caught a 10 on the river, but I guess that's poker.

You effectively posted results in the first post (I was wondering how I played this hand, since it ended up in disaster), don't do that

He's heads up, what is he pushing that you're behind? He'd try to extract with AQ, or a set. There's a slim chance he has Q7, with that said this looks like a semi bluff with a single pair or weird draw. Call and cross your fingers he doesn't outdraw.
