Aces post flop in squeeze spot, 3way, 1 player all in.

Blinds: $0.10/$0.20 (4 Players) BB: $21.67
CO: $8.52
BN: $30.63
SB: $26.24 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.30) Hero is SB with T A A Q
CO raises to $0.70, BN raises to $2.40, Hero raises to $8.10, BB folds, CO raises to $8.52 and is all in, BN calls $6.12, Hero calls $0.42
Flop ($25.76) 6 2 5
Hero checks, BN bets $22.11 and is all in, Hero calls $17.72 and is all in
Turn ($65.59) 6 2 5 3
River ($65.59) 6 2 5 3 K
Final Pot CO wins and shows three of a kind, Kings.
BN lost and shows a pair of Eights.
SB wins and shows a pair of Aces.
CO wins $24.09 SB wins $34.61
Rake is $2.50

Do you auto-shove this flop with one player all in ?
Since BTN has to beat CO for the main pot and us for the side pot, he should call us only with a better range than just any pair+ right ?
So is it fine to try to go to showdown and maybe induce some "lighter" shoves ?
How would you balance that ( if there's any need to balance this rare spot) since you always want to cb with draws and good hands for value/ protection ?

snap shove flop with less than 1PSB. you have AA only here, so youre shoving ur whole range. wouldnt worry about balance at these stakes, and if ur interested in understanding balance better in theory, there are a lot of more common/important spots to study first.

all villains will stack off with any FD any OE. some-most villains will stack off with any pair, any GS (or at least a combo of the two). some villains cant fold OP no draw here.

No reason to balance when you 4bet aces and get SPR < 1. Opponent can't really exploit the fact that he knows you got aces, as the line is +EV for you. He will call you with worse hands like flush draw, pair etc. If you check he will shove all the hands that beat you and check the rest and get a free card.

When you 4bet pre and open your hand face up, you make the decision to shove any flop. When you start to get fancy and even consider folding otf, you will miss a lot of value.
