I operated under the assumption that most pre-flop limpers at this level are either low pocket pairs or ace-rag. Every once in a while you'll find somebody getting cute with a medium-to-high pocket pair or ace-broadway. I thought that I was behind the cutoff guy but had wheel and flush outs and MAYBE the jacks too. Since the small blind could have anything there, he was more or less off my radar.

Is this normally a good spot for a shove? Since I'm putting the cutoff on an ace, can I assume that he's betting and go for a check-raise-shove? If so, what should I do when the cutoff bets and the small blind check-raise-shoves in front of me? If I know somebody's getting whacked this hand, can I fold and then work my 5BBish stack on the bubble or close to it?

Sorry about the mix-up. CO had clubs instead of spades.

Shove is good. Loads of FE with the A on the flop in a limped pot - they're limping way wider than you think - and you have a big enough draw not to hate being called by an A.

Don't show the turn and river cards - it'll tend to bias responses if people know whether or not your draw came in.
