Preflop
I will often just call with AQ in this situation, because it kind of sucks to get 4-bet. You can 3-bet also from time to time, but as Andyreas say, you sizing is way to small. The purpose of a 3-bet is not just to massage the pot larger. You want to put him to a tough decision with his more marginal hands rather than price him in to continue with his entire range and 4-bet his strongest hands.

Flop
Raising and calling are both fine. In position I lean more towards calling, as you did.

Turn
I might check back here and take a free card, because I dont think, you have a ton of fold equity. But betting is ok as well and builds up the pot for the nuts, when you hit it.

River
I kind of want to be a little results oriented here and say, that when he call an overbet jam with 88, then this is not a player, you want to try and bluff on the river. Also overbets are often perceived as bluffy, and putting your bounty in play improves his pot odds. So a jam here would have been a great line to take for value, but when you are bluffing, you might want to go to something like 60% pot instead. This might have gotten the same amount of folds or even more folds, and of course saved you a lot of chips when called. Its also ok to check back, since you will sometimes have the best hand, if he was chasing after a worse flush with a hand like QJ with one spade. Against fishy opponents we often do not want to bluff with the nut nothing, when they can have busted draws.
