are people really advocating putting over 1/3 of their stack in the middle to allow them to fold if the flop doesnt hit them?????
what hand exactly are you afraid of your opponent holding here?
There are only 2 Ax hands that are ahead of you (AK AA), youre even money against JJ and down, and are ahead of everything else. there is one player that is close to going out. this seems like the perfect situation to push around an edge, especially an edge that will most likely turn out to be a large edge. How many people overvalue any A three handed? I know I do. How about any K. fewer, but as a steal attempt its not bad.
A reraise to 1200 seems to be more of an information bet (at least it is as its being discussed here). The only reason to raise to 1200 instead of push is for value. If you are confident taking A high to showdown and plan on putting all of your chips in the middle on any flop, then a value raise might be in order, otherwise the push looks great.
