Is the best play here just to open shove? In my limited experience people are more than happy to GII with 25bb with any broadway Ax or Pocket Pair?

It's likely not the best thing to do.
(mainly b/c u miss out a lot of value against hands that would flat or 3b against a 2.x open but fold to an openshove)

Good point - forgot to mention this is at 1.5/3.5 stakes... Maybe it's best to openshove on tables without regs, where players are likely just playing a hyper for the gamble

Fwiw ppl generally gii a lot wider vs a normal sized open than against openjamming and rightly so, idk to what degree this fits microstakes recs but my best guess is you shouldn't openjam QQ+ for 25bb on the first hand ever. Don't be afraid of playing postflop, you'll be getting a lot of value from hands that just fold to your openjam plus you can't practice these spots if you're avoiding them.
