    Default $1/45person AQ from mp2 vs 2 short stacks

    Just posting for review, because this hand confused me a bit. Standard raise preflop from mid position, 2 calls from people who already had money in the pot, reraise from short stack beside me which I call instead of 4bet because AQs is good for a multiway pot and the raise is small but if the big stack shoves over I will throw it away against 3 opps. He just calls though. On the flop, the board is paired and the big stack checked, which could be two overcards or a smaller pair, probably not a big pair because he just called preflop where he had 2 chances to reraise and isolate. The small stack bets the rest of his stack giving me almost 11:1 pot odds against only him and the third short stack (already all in), but there is still a chance the big stack will continue to play the hand. In this case I think the shove is best because it is unlikely the big stack in SB is sleeping a big hand and will probably fold, and even if I am up against a low/med made pair from one of the other people already in the pot I have 6 outs to the river, which is around 3:1 against. It is also possible for a running flush, but very unlikely. I am pretty sure that justifies shoving here even with a big stack still waiting to act. If I am wrong, prove it.

    shove over pre when it gets back, if you are worried UTG+1 limping big don't raise to start with. It's a great spot with probably the best hand + dead money. That the hand plays well multi way is a non factor with one bet behind, that's deep stack thinking. SB has a big pair/AK ~ never and you want him to fold.

    as played I don't hate the ship but I doubt SB ever folds better so I would just call and see what happens. Also I would guess SB checks 100% of his range here so you have no info. Even if you get him off 22-66 you probably still need to get there for the main.

    Why did you reraise him on the flop. Isolation wouldn't help much IMO.
