what beats you here?

QQ, AA, 88.

Q8 or Q2 unlikely. would he have pushed preflop with AA?

The only thing I'm really afraid of here is QQ. I say call and if he has QQ or AA, then so be it.

Yes what he said. The CO could definetly do this with AQ IMO. Must call this.

First of all, what is up with this "better" spot stuff? I see that a lot on here - it's a cash game, the decision is either +EV or it isn't. It doesn't matter if it's not the most +EV situation you'll get into. If it's +EV, you make it. You're not playing a tournament.

Second of all, I don't think I could fold this. If he has 88, tough break. I think you'll see AQ more often.

By "better spot" I mean that if he is willing to put all of his chips in the middle with a hand worse than KK, then he will most likely provide a situation later on for you to take them.

I think had I played this hand correctly (aka pop it to 10-12 $ preflop and then lead for $20 on the flop) it would have been a call anyway.

Do you understand that this makes absolutely no sense in a cash game? There is no "later on". It's a cash game... you're only worried about the current hand. If you bust, you just reload. This isn't a tournament, where you might have to pass up a slightly +EV situation for a more +EV situation later because if you bust you're done. If you think calling is even slightly +EV, you have to call in a cash game.
