I would push here with my 14bb stack against a limp of the big stack. There is no need to make a normal raise with the big antes in play and then you don’t need to play post-flop with a marginal stack.

Cheers,

Yeah, push seems reasonably. Sometimes people limp UTG with very strong hands like JJ+,AK to induce an action. But if its 0,5 USD tournament and the oppent is uknown I would ship 14bbs all day long here.

Without any reads on the opponent, I would almost never raise or call here. Mostly fold or shove with only 14 BBs left. AQo is definitely good enough to shove here if we got the chance to open, but I dont think a early limp should change much (if you dont have any insane reads on him). I would shove.

Definite shove with 14BB, even if he raised 2-3X I'd shove unless he was insanely tight
