Default $555 tough spot (at least for me)

blinds 100/200 no ante you have 2600 4 handed utg, button & small blind both have about 4k and they're good players who are capable of pushing over your open raise with not so good hands, bb has 700, you have AQs, what is your plan for the hand?

Looks like a pretty easy limp to me. Definitely fold if Btn or SB shoves and BB folds. Definitely call if it is folded to BB and he shoves. Do some math to figure out if you should call if Btn or SB shoves and BB calls.

Heh pushing is also good. For some reason I had ignored that option. Given stacksizes it's unlikely the big stacks can call too light or for spite so you're looking at +.5%-.8%.

You'r trying to duck two hands behind you (forgetting the BB), if you are uncomfortable you may be playing over your head. But, to be honest, AQ,JJ+ is as low as you can go. With these stack sizes, your only choice is to push or fold with hand. AA, I might get cute with, but a $555 you're talking about two sets to me.

That isn't true. Limping is certainly an option.
