How about not shoving anything?

Re: not sure of range reqs here, BB sitting out
 

id still shove pretty tight because

A) Amak is pretty tight
B) He knows ur a thinking player and aggressive and will look you up a lot wider b/c this/ combined with the fact that the BB is sitting out, he might just call with w/e he raised with (thats not a pure steal so AQ+ 88+ or whatever)

Re: not sure of range reqs here, BB sitting out
 

Silly me. I didn't see we were small blind. So I probably would shove some obvious stuff here, like AK but I still think calling with a lot of high medium pairs is cool, because UTG+1 has to then play for all his chips before we decide to play for most of ours, and not shoving light is also cool, for the reasons ZJ gave.

Re: not sure of range reqs here, BB sitting out
 

I would be alittle tighter on shoving than ZJ and say AK, TT+, etc because we're so close in stacks & even though UTG+1 is much shorter he still has 1/2 what you both have, so i think shoving here with ATC is def a bad idea. Especially with what ZJ mentions \ your previous history with AMAK.

As for cold calling the 21k in the SB preflop this puts ~50k in the pot with AceGodd still to act to potentially call ~17k leaving him with ~65k, if he doesn't fold preflop... then he's either shoving here or on the flop, so i still gotta be pretty strong to just call here and prolly play a pot for half my chips at this point.
