you want to see 5 cards not 3 so getting it in is good

So standard.

extreme standard.

check the odds man, even though you have AK, its a flip

fine.

shove preflop to maximize fold equity
consider the range of hands you are 3-betting him with and how does 88 play against that range...

you'll conclude he ran into the only non pair hand you'd reraise for value - so obv he got lucky - Be happy you are playing with people willing to overplay 88 like this

Tourneys section though.
