I found myself in the spot where I don't really know how to play 2 hands . AQo and KJo when I'm shortstack on mtt (let's say mid position when action folds to me) or cash game (6max when I'm on first 2 positions) - any suggestions on what exactly should I consider to decide if better is to shove (mtts) ; open raise on cash game, or do something completely different ? - I know it's silly question. I was trying to dig the answer myself but I get some counterbalance answers from different pros on youtube, doing equilab thing etc. (somehow with AQ for example, I tend to run all in against... AK which hits top set or more lol)

It depends on the players at the table.

Calling stations? Shove all-in.

Tight players, raise preflop if you can afford it and hope to catch something IF you get called.

For MTT, it also depends on when is the bubble... I open shove more near the bubble because calls are looser.
