Do you shove or mr this? I don't like playing oop with those stack sizes.

As fidstar said, both is fine, you dont have much info on any player. Though, I see, BB seems as a passive one, so he could call you with some reasonable range and make your life hard on the flop. Even though ( :-D), he seems as a tight passive one, so hes not going to call you light and you cant fold your AK with 15 BBs, even if you know, hes pushing only JJ+,AK.
↑ This paragraph is variable, because 26 hands is not a big sample.
Due to almost no info about any of the players, its up to you...if you prefer playing shallow postflop (which is not that good), then you can minraise. Of course, they can repush you light, so, then its an easy call. But I, personally, like openpush, because for some players it may indicate weakness, and they call you with worse aces, some broadways and pairs up to 77+.

at 15bb-16bb yeah i rather minr, but lower than that i dont like minr with the intention of inducing a shove, many people these days likes to flat and put u on togh postflop spots, i like just open shoving from EP, either way out perceived range isnt that weak

I prefer shoving, mainly because if we get flatted (although unlikely) sucks when we are oop and no A or K hits flop. And we'd still get action from A10+ and pp, which is probably the most likely range that reshoves a MR from UTG anyway, unless you have a note there is an aggro in blinds.

Exactly! I would like to minraise with pairs like 88+, but AK is too beatable postflop, so openpush seems as a better option to me. The main thing is, that with your openpush, you indicate weakness to your villains and they cant fold eg. AQ or AJs to you.

For me is really dependent of players that are left to act behind me. If they are likely to flat and my life hell, I shove.

15 bb is too much for just shove here .... think about wat hands here will call us JJ and AQ s at the best ..... And wat hands can shove over us if we min rais that AKo........ 66+ ATs + IMO opinion i never shove with AK o with 15 bb in this position we are .
