I've been pretty active and have been taking down pots with aggressive play - though I've been caught bluffing the river a couple of times. Up overall and running ok though. I'm sitting on about $400.

I'm UTG with AKo and raise it up to the general table standard of $12.

A tight player with around $200 behind makes the call from middle position. I don't really have a grasp on what his coldcalling range is, but my guess is that it he'll make the 'calls in spots he should be raising' mistake more often than the 'calls in spots he should be folding' one.

A short stacked late position player who's down to his last $80 pops it up to $50 - essentially a push. He's been playing weaktight, so I expect him to have a moderately tighter than demolition tilt range. Probably pocket 44+ and maybe some suited connectors plus ATs+.

It folds around to me with about $60 in the pot after rake.

What considerations should I be making here?
How should I weigh risk vs reward on pushing out the tight player in a transparent isolation play of the short stack?
what effective stacksize would MP and I need for this to be an autopush?
what effective stacksize would MP and I need for this to be an autocall?

If I call and mp calls, should I donk into safe looking flops in an attempt to get hu? should I ever look to checkraise isolate vs the shortie in late p?

If I call and mp calls and I catch a pr, am I committed vs mp? (there would be $150 in the pot and an inevitable $30 more from late p shortie, but villain would still be around $150 behind)

If I call and mp calls and I whiff, I'm generally in a bad spot - especially when the action goes check/check/shove. This is primarily because I'm still up against LPshortie's entire range and getting great odds, but i'm oop vs a tight ep who's invested 1/4 of his stack already. I have no idea if he'll just check/fold to the late P bet, so therefore I have no idea if I should raise or not.

How much does it suck to reraise up to $120 pf and then check/fold the flop if I'm threehanded and whiffed?

If I reraise to $120 preflop can I fold to an mp shove?

thx. can't get my head around this one.
