Ok so the table is 6 handed after a recent bust. I'm sitting with about 180 after getting KK into AK preflop. UTG Straddles to 4 and UTG+1 posts a dead straddle to 8 (he doesnt get an option to raise if it doesnt get raised before him.) The CO calls blind so there's $23 bucks in the pot already. I get AQs OTB and am first to act... I have NO IDEA what to do here with only $180 behind me.

The BB is my brother who is very solid, sitting with about $450. The rest of the table is loose and their stacks are ~$300.

What the heck do I do here?

Call the 8. Personally I would let it go if someone raised or things got crazy later down the table. Especially with only 180 behind. All this retarded stradling is doing is upping the blinds but ur stack size stays the same. If you were very deep stacked I would consider calling a raise preflop which is going to be probabley in the 25-50 range now there is all this straddling. The problem with calling a raise with AQs WHEN the blind level has seemingly gone up is that it is going to create a bigger pot and AQ does not far very well in big gross pots.

Theres $23 in the pot already but nobody has raised. These guys with money in the pot are all in blind.

2 blinds, 2 straddlers and a moron who hasnt looked at his cards.

I raise to $50.

What's your plan for the flop ice? CB all in if you get one caller and it checks to you?

Well, Id like to at least see the flop first.

I'd make this $50 and shove almost any flop.
