Re: All in with AQs from UTG+1 I get too much action.

Push preflop?!
That's interesting. I was afraid to get it all in preflop because I reraiser may have me beat already with AK, AA, KK, QQ, JJ. I was calling because I figured I was getting good odds with all the deadmoney from the cold callers.
Can you elaborate about why you would push preflop. I never even considered pushing preflop (I'm a crappy player)

you raised, were minraised, and there were two callers.
the pot is $16 (before your call) with $2 for you to call.
you have less than $20...
to maximize your chance of winning the pot you want to be heads up. if you 3-bet all-in, you may be in a race situation with the minraiser, but i doubt anyone else will call. if everyone folds, you net $13.5.
if minraiser (and only the minraiser) calls, and has an underpair, then you're 48% to win, and would net out roughly $4.5 in EV.
even if there's one other caller with another underpair to you (and they both go to showdown), you're over 33% to win and have a small overlay from the one that folded.
throw in the other caller with a suited connector, and you're still around 30% to win and getting 3:1 on your money.
