Whats your play after this? I dont think he reraiser has to have a premium hand since his stack is so short..Do you try to isolate here against him? Muck?

Looks like the converter had a brain cramp!

Given the initial raiser's stack size, I'd probably just fold here. I don't think an isolation raise is going to work here often enough and I don't know how good our hand is going to be against 2 allins.If our stack was smaller, I think the right play would be to push.

Level 8....hmm, has the bubble been broken yet?Unless UTG was on a steal...which is unlikely, I don't think an isolation play will work and we are playing for half our stack.At least one of your cards is likely duplicated, so I'm leaning towards a fold.Any other reads on UTG? If we flat called, would he play nice and check down for an elimination?

I'd push here .. chances are the orginal raiser will drop out unless he has AA, KK, AK maybe JJ... still like your chances to win the pot.. calling is out of the question.Whats your reads on the orginal rasier???..... thats how you'll have able to make a better decision..... the short stack with push a huge range of hands.. iif he's anything like me.. that'll be about Top 25-50% of hands so you're AQsuited is a very nice favoriate

Its a tough read on UTG. His M<10, committing 20+% of his stack, which could be middle pair, A8-AJ, KQ or monsters. If we were button I would just call, but OOP we're dead to 70% of the flops, and are a favorite against his range. Id go ahead and push.
