i'm sure you could make an argument for calling here but why bother?
UTG call could suggest a big hand or pp (obviously not in this case lol) and presumably CO would recognise this and his pushing range ought to be smaller.
AQ is not a hand that I want to be risking too many chips with at this stage against 2 opponents.

you should be ahead + dead money in pot ---> overshove preflop

there is always a bigger fish

+1

shoving to isolate him and holding on for the cards to come down.

He is a shorty so he is shoving pretty wide here, and hes not afraid of the limper.

You will find AT, AJ, even things like A6s or KQ here often.
hes shoving even wider then that those are just some examples.

Hi all,

I much prefer a shove here against unknown/regular. AQo is way ahead of his range IMO and BB is short enough for us not to worry too much in the case he wakes up with a strong hand.
