putting the hand from memory -- apologize if there's not enough information to make a decision

we're still far from the money (106 money, 170 left). I'm sitting with a stack of 37BB which puts me at about 50th currently. 9-man table.

Blinds are 1k/500 with antes, 12 min level
UTG+1 shoves with 16BB
Hero is UTG+2 with ??
No reads on anybody else in the table, but they're all in fairly comfortable positions -- let's say everyone after me has 30+ BB.

Only read is that UTG+1 has been shoving a lot since having 10-11BB so seems to be doing it fairly lightly.

What range would be good to reshove/isolated here, given that so many people are behind us, it's a pretty deep shove?

FWIW I had AQo in this spot and was pretty confused what to do since there were so many people after me.

I think im calling AQ+/99+ and folding everything else

flatting or shoving over?

16bb is pretty much half our stack so we are committed to the hand, so shoving over

I think AQo and 99 both borderline. Could be swayed by V stats

High risk spot. The fact that he's been shoving a lot at 10-11bb actually makes me give him more credit here because he has 16bb, is shoving UTG+1, and must be aware of the fact that everyone knows he's been shoving a lot. So it's a perfect spot for him to keep up the maniac image with a strong hand. Then you have to factor in the possibility of someone waking up with a monster behind you.

So I'm shoving JJ/AK+ and dumping everything else.

I think this is about right

I think Darth Vadar is right on the fact that he's probably aware of his image and is using that too his advantage by shoving with a slightly bigger stack in an early position, too hopefully give off the impression that he's still loose when he shoves. I personally would fold AQ here, too many times you'll be looking at AK, and with that many BB's left I think we could probably find a better spot to get our money in. Tournament pace is another factor too consider I would be more inclined to call in a fast paced tourney in this spot than a slower tourney.

Im also thinking that he is aware of his image and pushing it for his advantage, so you should be careful and pick a tighter range. Also lots of people behind you can call also.
Calling is not a option you have to shove over.
Ill probably take AK+/10+ fold the rest.
