Default Common Spot with Shortstacker

Cold caller is a 24/19 TAG, shorty seems competent ~18/10ish

Hold'em, $10 BB (6 handed)

UTG ($912.60)
Hero ($978.50)
CO : ($2009)
Button ($681.65)
SB: ($180)
BB ($1047.80)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $35</font>, CO calls $35, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB goes all-in for $180</font>,<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero?

What is your plan here? We expect to be ahead of the ranges of both opponents. Do you raise to commit, raise small, just call? What do you do vs any reraise from CO?

He cold-called, there's no way he can call another raise from you here, so push him out.

Yea, just shove I guess. I don't think he's ever gonna call a 4bet, but since you basically commit with any reasonable raise just take the strong line.

Honestly, in these situations I usually just min-raise or call. I don't think CO is really getting the odds to call again with a drawing hand if he call. And if he has something like a slowplayed AA, you can save yourself money compared to when you shove. To balance it out, when you have AA in the spot, it should be played the same way, and you don't have to worry about giving implied odds to CO since he can't profitably invest 20-30% of his stack preflop trying to draw.

Obv you never fold here with your image. I like shove most of the time. 3-bet small if you`ve done some goofy things lately.
