Default Stars 22: chipleader, A2o utg, 4 handed, openshove?

My image is pretty aggressive the last few levels. Anybody open shove here as the chip leader on the bubble? If no, what's the smallest kicker you need here with the A to open shove?

My first thought is that the risk/reward isnt there. Without antes you add 300 to your stack, and with antes 450 - but when you are called, you are almost always drawing to three outs, and after being agressive you might get looked up a little wider than usual (not to mention it being a 22 and some villians dont exactly call optimally in the first place.)

I would prefer to push Q9o here

Do you make a standard raise here? If the SB shoves over the top, fold? If the BB shoves over the top, call? I couldn't decide what I would do if the BB shoved(he had been restealing here and there), but his stack size is not the best for that without a good hand.

This really depends on your read of the SB. If he's a monkey, I'd just standard raise. If he's decent, I'd maybe shove. But, at 1/200, still probably just raise unless I think he's ballzy enough to shove over my raise wide.
