Reshove the first time around to isolate the short stack. As played, just shove the flop, as you played the flop definitely call.

Yup. And post subject something like...
$6.50 FT - AQo Utg+1 at T120 as Biggish Stack, UTG Shortie Shoves, Hero???

You're a lot more likely to get a good response when you help us help you.

.... and welcome to 2p2.

after flopping top pair like this, you can't fold in a sit n go at these small stakes. but pushing all in might be good to isolate.

I think this is an awkward stacksize.. Reshoving all in is a massive bet and getting called would generally really suck. So.. is reshoving all in really worth the tiny equity we get by gambling at something like 60 to 40 vs his range?

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 58.082% 54.80% 03.28% 2612406252 156385530.00 { AQo }
Hand 1: 41.918% 38.64% 03.28% 1841877024 156385530.00 { 22+, A5s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, A4o+, KJo+ }

As played I'm pretty sure you have to get it in postflop.

If I'm worried about anything here it's that CO, SB or BB wake up with a monster hand that has us crushed - but that's why we reshove so that they can only call with a tiny percentage of possible hands.

Calling or reshoving p/f are fine imo, leaning slightly toward shoving. As played, I just shove it in on the flop though instead of betting 750, as I'm getting it in regardless of what SB does after my bet. Might as well let him know I mean business. He doesn't likely have us beat with AA,KK,QQ,AK as he would have likely shoved over us p/f. Obv if he has 88, 99 or a donk A9/A8, then we're going broke either way.

Intuitively I think the ---cEV/---$EV of someone calling our shove now and then outweighs the +$EV when everyone folds.

JJ+, AKo is 3% of hands.. 4 players left to act means you will be called and typically crushed something like 9% of the time (because the we have 2 large cards in play, AA, AK, QQ are less likely etc. bla bla).. AQo has 28% equity against that range.

I think it's close.. without bothering to do the math after this.

Shove Preflop to isolate.
