Why take coin flips against morons? I think with allin artists you can wait for a slightly better spot. Also, when he showed A2 you have to think that he is trying to stir up action, not giving a representative sample of what he's moving in with. I'd call him with AA, KK and maybe AK for the domination (and unlikely reverse domination) possibility. In general, I tend to give these guys the blinds.
That said, you are probably slightly ahead of his average move-in holding here, so if you don't mind the variance, your call is good. I just think this money is going to keep moving, and with a little patience you can be a much bigger favorite.
As a sidenote: Is this really weak thinking for ring games? Does not pushing every slim edge to the fullest mean you are playing too weak? Does your thinking change when you are reasonably certain you will get another, better opportunity?
If you say yes to the above, would you advocate reraising laggy players allin preflop when you know you can isolate them and you have a category 1 or 2 hand? If not, isn't there a contradiction here somewhere?
