Default AQ flops two pair - call or shove?

Is this a place for the so-called "call-and-reevaluate" play some ppl write about? If I reraise him it'd have to be AI because otherwise I'm left with a "funny amount of money" in comparison to the pot on the turn.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $74.20
BB: $25.00
UTG: $23.95
Hero (CO): $25.00
BTN: $21.50

Reads: <font color="blue">Unknown</font>

Preflop: Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 Players)
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.25</font>, 3 folds, UTG calls $1.00

Flop: ($2.85) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q (2 Players)
UTG checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $2.20</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to $5.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero ?</font>

Call/shove?

If call, what's the turn plan?

We have position. I have no problem with calling here and shoving over a bet on any turn. This way we extract more from the weakest hands in villains range too.

Shoving the flop is alright too though, but the stack sizes are indeed ackward for it.

I like a call but not for reevaluation purposes (although a non-heart turn would be nice), but for stack sizes. if you call here, the pot is $13 and you have effectively #17.5 left. So if UTG leads, you can push over him and he'll be pretty committed.

Assuming he could be doing that with a hand like K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] which I doubted then but now it seems definitely possible to me.

then I call and hope for a safe turn because your equity will go way up while his equity goes way down.
