Easy fold. He could be stealing but you cant really look him up with a bad ace.

reads (including sb)? How active have you been when CO has raised in LP? Just because CO is short doesn't mean he's not capable of stealing with KJ+, QJ type hands from CO. If you've been 3-betting players and he raises here it's a hand he'll felt with I think.

I don't flat it. If I'm doing anything I'll probably shove so SB isn't involved. But then again I always find ways to spew.

This is totally read dependent. A call is out of the question IMO, it's either a fold or shove. If you're not sure about your read on CO, just fold and wait for a better spot.

W/o reads I tend to fold A9. AT is close, and whenever I face a close decision I tend to get aggressive so I'll often 3bet AT here, but I don't know if that's any good or not. AJ I almost always 3bet with these stacks.
