Normally this is an instapush for me preflop, but with the huge stack and the two shortstacks, survival seemed a lot more important than chips. I'm about 90% sure this is the right line, but if I'm 90% sure about something and I'm wrong, it's a huge leak, so I wanted to be sure.

no bad line... push PF, the shortys arent that short and a good player puts you in a terrible spot whenever you dont flop a pair (but a good player also pushes PF but thats not the point).

If one of the other stacks doubles, you're in for some problems. Personally, I'd push and like a call here (unless he's a dolt and completed with AA or KK /images/graemlins/tongue.gif).

Don't like it, you are definitely ahead and have a good amount of FE... clear push. Also, AQ is a bad hand to see an unraised flop with... you won't get credit for a decent hand if the board blanks.

How is this a dolt play? If BB is pushing a decent number of times here, Completing with AK/QQ-AA here is a great play.
