Preflop
I like the idea to isolate small with AA to get action, but I would still go a bit larger. Its not like, he is going to limp-fold, because you make it 3BB rather than 2BB, and then you win those extra chips, when he miss and check-fold the flop.

Flop
I like, that you raised his min-donk, because the goal is to get all the chips in against all the hands in his range, that you still beat. Which is the vast majority of them. But I would only go to around 150k and then put the rest in on the turn. Overbet jamming the flop can look bluffy, but it also gives him a chance to get away from a lot of hands, that we want action from.

Results
So he flopped a set and cracked your aces. That suck but the main advice is to play emotionless poker and not focus on bad beats or coolers.

Kiss your $0.50 goodbye and go play another tournament. Nothing to see here.

worthless comment by the way

Its a rude comment, but he does have a point in the sense, that the hand was most likely only shared, because OP ended up losing it. If the opponent had flipped over a hand like KJ, and OP had gotten his hold, then OP would almost certainly not have worried about the hand or shared it to the forum. So it is a very results oriented hand.

But this does not mean, nothing can be learned from it. As I said already, in my opinion OP used poor sizing both preflop and on the flop. But still the hand is just a cooler. If UTG was a good player, he would open push a small pair with these stack sizes, since 4 players were so short, they almost did not matter. And then OP would of course call with AA, and the bad beat would still happen.

Thank you my dear, I was having doubts on the flop, the size preflop when reviewing the hand a few times I also realized that if I had thought better I would have 2.5X or 3X

No, actually I was having doubts on the flop, but you already helped a lot

You guys sure are sensitive while preaching playing emotionless poker. There's no rudeness implied. Sometimes you just lose money and can't help it. Kiss it goodbye and move on.
