Default Largish stack with AQo in CO facing UTG limp and shortstack shove

My table broke a few hands earlier, and this is my first rotation at this table. I really need help with my bigger stack play, and this is a common situation that gives my problems. What do I do, facing UTG's limp and MP1 shove?

Poker Stars, $5 + $0.50 NL Hold'em Tournament, 200/400 Blinds, 8 Players

BTN: 12,751
SB: 9,753
BB: 9,865
UTG: 18,408
UTG+1: 18,411
MP1: 6,324
MP2: 6,315
Hero (CO): 19,555

Pre-Flop: (800) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (CO)
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls 400, <font color="red">MP1 raises to 6,299 and is All-In</font>, 1 fold, Hero ???[/i]

utg+1 limped, not utg (not to be nitty but it does make a bit of a difference)

i'd iso shove here unless utg+1 has been tight-agressive but all of the sudden limped in EP

I actually don't like the idea of risking 1/3 of my stack here with AQ. Maybe that's why I don't win tournaments.

At this stage, MP1 is not really a "shortstack" with 15BBs. I think that without a read that MP1 will make ridic moves, this is a pretty std fold (since this is the way most SS players play AK - and not much else here.)

i think the fact that he's shoving over a limper and not a raiser makes this less AK and more midpair

gigablock ftw!
