UTG had just lost almost all of his stack last hand. UTG+1 (the caller of the all-in) had been fairly active.

What would you generally do here?

I think this is a good spot for a push. The money in the pot is like 25% of your stack, you need those chips. Unless you had a read that UTG+1 had flat called a shortstack AI with a monster then this is fine IMO.

I think I might shove here too. Problem with just calling is that, whilst it gives you a chance to take a look at the flop and possibly check down to the river, you are risking taking your hand 5 way (if the SB and BB call - and there is a good chance given the discount on offer).

Your AJ is probably well ahead of UTG's range, so you might as well push that advantage and take your AJ HU for a nice 570 pot.
