Typical 1/2 loose passive game. Plenty of limp/calling

CO is a decent reg. A bit too loose sometimes but in general is positionally aware, and less bad than the rest. Covers hero

BTN is unknown, has been at the table for maybe 15mins, no hands played.

Hero is seen as TAG, and is given quite a lot of respect at the table. Stack is around 140

OTTH:

UTG folds, hero us UTG +1 and raises to 10 with AQo, folded to CO who calls.
BTN jams for his last 55
Hero?

Firstly, BTN doesn't know your image as a tag, so depends how you define his shoving range. He would shove with all his value hands AQs+ obviously, but if you think he is doing this with worse, like A10ss, low pairs ect, then it is an easy re-shove

CO is almost never ever calling your re shove as he is likely to know your image, also you're repping a big hand. You can hopefully take down the 30 ish bigs from the dead 10 and the BTN shove. If BTN wakes up with a monster then so be it, I would trust AQ to be ahead of an unknown range, especially someone who sits down for such a small amount and doesn't top up

Button just sat down and has not seen a flop yet, has a short stack and jams over a bet and call? I'll give him credit the first time and fold. Depending on how aggressive button is you might be priced in against his range but you don't know yet and it's more likely he is a passive villain with JJ+ then a spewy maniac on a bluff. Having AQ rather then AK makes this easy because button should have AK in his range but isn't likely to have anything worse then AQ.

If you did want to play then rejam to put the pressure on CO and insure you get to see all 5 cards. Button's stack isn't so short and your stack isn't so big that you want to let CO into hand.

First you said button has no hands played. Then you said he shoved for his last $55 which implies he had more than that at one time. Not sure what that means.

Regardless, its shove or fold. I would lean towards shove. Youre risking $45 to win $75 assuming cutoff never calls which is very unlikely. Good odds vs shortstack range.
