Default Shortstacked, facing a raise and a call in MP

Ok, stars 109, new table so no reads. What's your range here? Is this a good spot to get involved with suited connectors? Pairs?

With only about 5 times whats in the starting pot Hero could move all-in here with alot of hands, at least that's what I think. i think this is a perfect time to use the sqeeze play and move in with any pair, any ace, any two high cards, and suited connectors. That's what I think anyway.

I dont'think this is a good time for a squeeze play because you have no FE. MP2 is gonna call with anything because he will be getting at least 3.4-1 calling your all in, and he has more than a healthy stack. I definitely wouldnt move in with any ace here because that is likely to be dominated. I think that you need to open-push with a lot of the hands Nivek suggested but you will not be squeezing both of these players out.
In this spot i would push A10s+, AJ, and 66+

This seems about right to me. I might also add KQ (especially suited) since I think you'll often be getting excellent pot odds against one or more Ax's that don't dominate you or lower pairs.

bump, I think this is an interesting situation. We don't have any FE for a squeeze IMO though.
