Default 4.40/180 Alternative way to play AQ w ~20bbs

Villain seems to be pretty good, he's been aggressive of late stealing pots. I'm playing AQ with a reraise and I'm calling a 4bet pf obviously. Do I raise to 5k, then call any push, or push when checked to on the flop giving villain 2 chances to lay his hand down. Or do I shove like I did, getting him to laydown a small pair or JT type of hand pf with no showdown. Villain had solid stats and really seemed to know what he's doing. EDIT: we're on the bubble.

How bout like 4K, with antes, that will be plenty to leave us just under psb on flop. By your reads, this is dreamland, obv, we're never going away and this as mentioned not only gets him off a better hand post, it gets us more value on the hands we're beating that will go away on the flop or pay us off if we hit.

this shove isnt horrible, but if your read is that he knows what he's doing a non-push committing reraise looks a lot stronger than a 20bb shove, and will fold out more hands
