Live 2/2/5, Shove or Flat with 70 BB?

2/2 with $5 rock. $350 stack, I overlimp MP with AKQ6 (3 hearts to the ace). Cutoff is the rock-- a very pre-flop aggro Asian lady-- who pots to $45. Three calls. If I re-pot, I can almost get all in, but I'm quite sure she re-pots to get heads up anyway with any hand she's raising. (She had about $500.) Given the players/stacks in between, I believe they would all fold (maybe I'd be 3 ways at most). So do I shove here with a decent hand against her range plus dead money, or see a $45 flop 6 ways and fold if I whiff? Thanks.

If it was double suites or a ten or jack than above I most of time pick a better spot and fold.

I'd rather call 40 into 180 and play a flop. If for whatever reason potting always resulted in you getting it heads up with 135 in dead money of course do that, but I don't think that's a reasonable assumption 100 BB deep. I'd guess it ends up being closer to 3 players all in with you at an equity disadvantage.

This would be a thin limp-reraise.
This hand gets downgraded twice, first for 3 to a suit, and then for the 6 dangler.
I am mostly indifferent to call or fold - our hand doesn't have particularly great playability in a bloated pot. If the pot stays multi-way we are unlikely to have an equity edge on the table - it's really only the squeezing out dead money scenarips where jamming can become more +ev.
